Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-06-23 12:11 PM


It's hard to say you're sorry
When you're alone
In the dark
Terrified that the suffocating
Blanket will snatch up the words
Before they roll off your tongue.
And then, of course, these humble words
To be said on a prince's tongue,
Are lost.
Swallowed into the blackness,
Everything you thought you knew
Before you opened your mouth
Goes with them.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

So right
"It's hard to say you're sorry
When you're alone
In the dark"

I've been trying to tell someone that for ages.....
