Poetry By Shadowslight

Listen girl I don't wanna see or let a good thing slip away
I've been hurt before, then I met you, this is a chance I've gotta take
You're a real nice girl and I'm always there for you
And I thank the stars for letting me meet you
Oh, listen girl there is something that I think you need to know
That before we met I was a cold and darkened, lonely kind of soul
But along you came and a warmth began to grow
And there's just one more thing you need to know...

Hey girl don't doubt it, everything I say is real
Since I've been around you
I've began to start to feel
Hey girl don't doubt it
Don't you know how much you mean?
In my eyes you are perfect
Just like an angel from my dreams

Listen girl, I cant explain the way you're affecting me
Because once I was cold, and now it would seem that I'm singing happily
I've never met someone with whom I've felt secure
Now I sing my song again to reassure

Hey girl don't doubt it
You gotta know how much I care
When I can't be with you
Know that I wish I was there
Hey girl don't doubt it
I love your affect on me
You and me together,
Thats my hearts one waking dream

Now here's the part where I start worrying
I haven't fallen for someone in so long
But when your gone and away from me
Know that I'm in isolation when you're gone

Listen girl, I'm wiling to do whatever its got to take
Give me a chance or two to be with you
I know it won be no mistake
I'm not a trusting soul
But I left my heart with you
So I've said my part, now the rest is up to you

Hey girl don't doubt it
Everything I say is real
Since I been around you
I've began to start to feel
Hey girl, don't doubt it
Don't you know how much you mean
In my eyes you are perfect
just like an angel from my dreams

Next to You

I sit here thinking myself a fool....
Why did I have to put myself so far away from what mad me happy instead of blue
I turned my back to those who saved me from a life I once knew...
Why did I pull myself away from you???

Now that I'm here, Its forever before the days end....
The one thought that keeps me going....coming back to you as well as my friends.

The day I leave this hell is coming soon...
When that happen, my happiness will be renewed,
For I'll be back at home...

Around my friends, and once again, next to you

Shadows Light

I was sitting in the cold on my own
Not a soul, around, only the moon's erie glw
I was at war with myself, my mind a whirl
Why did I open up?? Why did I fall for that girl???
Not once but twice....
Heartache has struck me...Isn't fate so nice
I truly felt mad that I had fallen again...
I hurt so bad, I just wanted life to end

There I stood, the jump, just inches away
Counting down the time I felt my life should end...
I never made it to zero: Fate stopped me, as if to say:
"Antoine, your time is not now, its time for you to meet a new friend"
I looked to the side and there you were, standing next to me

From that moment, you talked me down...
You said you seen how I was hurt, and how you'd followed me around
You knew of my pain and my dispair...
My friend, that night, It felt good to know that you cared

Now we've become close & I'm as happy as can be
I love you my dear
Every second away from you seems like an eternity
But when we are together, everything is alright
I just want to say thank you, my love
For being this shadows light...

How Could You


How could you play this game with my mind???
You torture me, and I've been nothing but kind
Although this hurts, there is a motto I have learned
Stay cold, being kind will do nothing but get you burned

I deal with a pain that shatters both heart and soul
But I hide it with a smile that has no glow....

Why am I complaining??? I know you don't care
I know how you laugh and stab my back whenever I'm not there
In my absence, I know the trash that you talk
Even though you are kind as hell whenever we go for a walk

I've been burned for the last time, I'm through!!!
I've always cared for someone only to get my heart stabbed through
I've done nothing offensive, HOW COULD YOU???!!!

To hell with love, I've had far too much bad luck
I dedicate this to you, my harlot
Though I know you don't really give a f*&k!!!

Confusion

Sitting here in the dark night
With only the moon shining bright
I smile when I see it reflect in your eyes

I can’t believe I’m writing this…
I’m as cold as stone, I’m not into emotional nonsense
I’m done playing love’s game
Its ended for me, always in pain
Making my heart as cold as steel
Love’s an emotion, I’m not supposed to feel
But along you came
And I found myself starting to change
Find myself drawn in toward you
But thankfully you haven’t yet a clue…

I’d have to say its your beauty and natural charm
That has caused me to soften up and become warm
A voice of caution tells me I’m riding for a fall:
“Don’t fall for her, you’re tossing your heart into a wall
And as it shatters, it will bring the worse kind of pain…”
Do I really want to live through that again?

Is this a chance I need to take
Am I setting myself up for another heartache?
I’m not sure what lies ahead…
But I can’t get these thoughts of you out of my head
I just hope this time it will end well
Could it be you that ends my pain, my emotional hell?
