Shadows in the Distance

Shadows in the distance
Lights falling from the sky
This burning ambition
Leads to your crystal eye
What’s swollen to the touch
What’s lost in your soul
Don’t stand so close to me
Don’t let your mood
Make me feel any less whole.
I am a burden to your dream
I am a criminal to a bird in flight
My brain is like a black metal chain
Lost inside its cage it bars
Resembling a story that has no end
A clear tear fallen from Grace
With bitter retreat and no sense at all
Please don’t allow this precious girl to fall.
