the shadow you hide behind engraved in words, all the names you've been called, all the names you have given, the shadow you hide behind sprinkled with tears, that in translucent reflection reflect, all of the regretted years, the shadow you hide behind, a wall of smiles, laughter drowned hollow in an echo of shouts, the shadow you hide behind, so many broken screams, so much pain blocked out from you're heart, unrealistic dreams, the shadow that you hide behind, the scars etched into you're soul, for this you live on in agony; fear, for the hearts we've lost and for the hearts we've stolen...... copyright 2003 The PooRe PoeT 2-19-2003 dedicated and for Sarah Wellman...sorry
