I’m a shadow in the dark <br />The quintessential sound of death <br />I’m a shadow in the dark <br />Like the reaper’s icy breath <br /> <br />I’m a statue set in stone <br />In apathetic sleep <br />Let the world just pass me by <br />And I will never weep <br /> <br />I’m a shadow in the dark <br />The quintessential sound of death <br />I’m a shadow in the dark <br />Like the reaper’s icy breath <br /> <br />You don’t have to set me free <br />You don’t have to light my night <br />You don’t have to feel my breath <br />Or step into my line of sight <br />For I’m a shadow in the dark <br />You know I’m there but you can’t see <br />I’m a shadow in the dark <br />You pass me by, and leave me be.<br /><br />Justin Robert Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadow-in-the-dark/
