Shadows Mean Goodbye

[bobfirez]

There's a light on in the attic,
blurred and faceless symphony,
feel at home when you are here,
sitting down beside me,
When i'm lonely i am lost,
floating empty deep inside,
crushed, an effort so demanding
singing futile lullabyes,
i hold you, dear, in my heart,
kiss me softly, whisper words,
but dreams were meant for only sleeping
real life meant for hurt,
i could watch you, long forever,
but i know deep in my heart,
never be there time together,
i just don't know where to start,
i know i've no more chances,
after all i'd never one,
i'll not be what you're needing,
never what you want,
i just want you to be happy,
so i'll watch you from the side,
never tell you how i'm feeling,
i'll just whisper it at night,
then i know you'll never hear me,
but it's a burden all my part,
because if you never know then,
you'll never have to break my heart,
i'm in dreams, ever fading,
and keep the light on in my room,
always hoping, never gaining,
ability to assume,
They say that light shows all hidden,
What's hiding in the night,
but candles show only shadows
and shadows mean goodbye.
