It waits in the dark of night,
to tear apart friends,
and lovers,
all who love light.

The shadow waits for us all,
for that one stumble,
for that one fall,
‘til it seizes us in its grasp,
and our last breath we do rasp.

Lying on the floor in pain,
remembering friends again,
and again.

Watching the blade slide into our hearts,
not caring as the heart blood drains,
staining the ground,
dripping blood rain,
splattering the ground in rainbows of pain.

Watching, almost happily,
as life slips away,
never again to see our friends,
to tie off all our loose ends,
to watch the sunrise with our friends,
the ones who caring, never seems to end.

yet as you drive the blade into me,
slowly, ever slowly….
The shadow must rise in us all,
some battle,
drive it back,
watch it fall,
others late it take them,
serve its darkness,

welcome the shadow waiting,
welcome the darkness falling,
welcome the pain unending,
welcome the hatred rending.

The shadow falls on us all in the end,
its hatred,
its pain to rend,
there’s nothing it can do,
but better me than you,
I’m sorry it must end,
I will miss you,
my friend.
