Fade away ...

Into the shadows we climb
hiding behind the mask of lust

For what you see in me is a shell
a girl with destitute dreams
and violent nightmares

No hope as the sun will never rise

Outside is but a steadily trained hand
Hair whispering in the wind
Eyes carefully colored

Inside there is anger
A heart that never has chance to heal
A soul that never has chance to live
Inside we fall into that sweet abyss
Waiting for the world to fall around our feet

For we are alone in this world of many
Trying to find our way
Losing our footsteps in the end
For I am just an illusion
Here for your pleasure

... Lost within mine 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

*Search the shadows and there you will find me.
Breaking free of the shackles that bind,
holding tightly to the dreams that keep me alive*.
