Shading

I've seen through the shading

And down to what's within

Reaching you will feel meLost and alone, you said

I was what you were looking for

So why do I feel so empty?And it seemed so real

Pulled from my grasp taken away

Am I nothing in your eyes? Reaching out I feel

You were pulling away, never letting me in

I am nothing in your eyesDay in, day out, I see you live your life again

A fool, I stand here in waiting

In letters, words and pictures

You profess your love to me

And to the last they were liesThe malice I should feel for your deceitfulness

Somehow always escapes me

And in the shading

Between the words you said to me

I know I'd be left empty
