I'm in the shadows

like the proverbial ghost in the night
I haunt you
here in the the shadows

like the fairytale spider
waiting for its prey
here in the shadows

like the night itself
dark to the core
here in the shadows

you hate me,
but you can't help but love me
because it feels so right
and I keep your frozen hands
warm all night
and when rain falls hard
and hail breaks your skin
its all because of me
and its gone because of me

so when you need me again
I'll be here
lurking, haunting, waiting
here in the shadows
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

    Stalker.
    I tried to be a better me
    In the end I looked like the rest of them.

    That scared me a little bit.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

    yeah, that was the point
    sometimes I like writing from a darker scarier perspective, I don't know, like the song 'Tyler' by the toadies maybe, just something to freak you out
