Apparition in the Shadows

In the dark of the shadows

You see a distorted image

Slowly passing, you fail to see

Not even a blink of an eye

Can make you see the blood tears I cry

Open yourself, bring forth the light

Catching a glimpse of me

I fade just as quickly

The cries of the wind are mine

Hitting upon your window

Your soul incomplete and blind

I may fade from the depths of memories

But my distant cries shall haunt you

A faint glimpse of my ashen face

I'm the distorted image in the shadows side

The light faded and so did my life

My breath is the air that leaves you frozen

I was a wilting rose in the bottom of your black heart

Petal by petal I decayed

Who is this haunting beauty in the dark?

Who is this hideous figure?

Bring light to your blind eyes

Maybe you shall finally see

Why this is who I turned out to be
