Her Shadow

A shadow of disappointment covers her face
Why does she feel so alone?
Her eyes fill up with tears again
A loner is how she is known

All alone in the still of the night
Alone to face her fears
Her sadness has grown even more again
A frown over-shadows her tears

Only time will tell her now
Time is going fast
She’s letting herself drift away again
Drift away into the past

Sometimes she thinks life isn’t fair
She always feels so sad
She depends on only drugs again
Even though she knows they’re bad

A shadow of disappointment covers her face
Why does she feel so alone?
Her eyes fill up with tears again
A loner is how she is known

All alone in the still of the night
She’s always feeling low
The rain is pouring down again
She’s slipping into her shadow
