Shadowlands

What happened to you

Why's the space so dead

Behind your eyes

Did you burn through the fire

That made you alive

You walk and talk like

Someone I used to love,

But you're a whispery shell

Of your former self

A cut-out doll

Fluttering in the breeze

What happened to you

You tried to grab the

World by the horns and

Fling it out into the sky

Scattering your prize wide

Like stars across the canopy

Did you kill too many hopes

Did you trash too many dreams

Did the city break your heart

More than any woman dared

What happened to me

I almost followed your lead

Down that path

But I decided I had to live

Though with each and every day, I

Fight the temptation

To join you

In the Shadowlands
