Shadows

I'm all alone
I'm in my room
My days have turned to night
My nights turned into days
A little candle on the table
Throws shadows on the wall
And I'm not able
To forget 
To let go of you
To stop wondering what you do
Right now
I look and stare 
At the shadows on the wall
And I remember 
your kind face
The security 
of your warm embrace
And I recall 
Your dark and shining eyes
And I remember 
all your lies.


Do you watch shadows
Thinking of me ?
Do you watch shadows
And see what I see ?
Have lonely days
And lonelier nights still
Turned us into slaves ?
Do we regret the past ?
Do you feel a chill
When they say my name ?
Do you feel ill 
For what you did ?
Do you sit there without light
And wonder what I do tonight.
Do you ponder
Whether I came
To the bar 
When you stayed away
Just to hurt me
Yesterday ?
Is your candle lit
And do you sit
Thinking if maybe
You do love me
A little bit ?
And do you want to kiss
Once more
Just to see
What we will miss…
