Shadow

rinyville

We shared some love and laughter
Lived through some tears and pain
Now that you’ve gone to hereafter
Or somewhere I can’t explain
I’ve searched in every empty room
Every cupboard every case
I know you’ve left a mark somewhere
But I couldn’t find a trace

We’ve been through good and bad times
When wounds turned into scars
Our souls stirred and our hearts closed
But they left a door ajar
I opened up the window
let the morning light creep in
but it shone on plastered walls
where your shadow once had been

It’s time to close the curtains
It’s time to shut the door
It’s time to make some sense of
Where there’s no sense no more

We’ve been through good and bad times
When wounds turned into scars
Our souls stirred and our hearts closed
But they left a door ajar
I opened up the window
let the morning light creep in
but it shone on plastered walls
where your shadow once had been
