Little by little I fall through the cracks
With no one to help me get out
I'm truly mundane alone in my pain
With no one to hear when I shout

A shadow's shadow an illusion at best
A memory that fades like the breeze
Hidden from view that nobody knew
I'm nothing that nobody sees

They gave me a name that they never use
I don't even know who I am
They made me this way I'm sorry to say
They've proven they don't give a ****

When I look in the mirror the reflection is gone
I can't even describe all my pain
My body survives my heartache still thrives
But my spirit is only a stain

Little by little I fall through the cracks
And I'm starting to disappear
For it won't be too long before I am gone
Just like I was not even here

I followed my shadow to see where he went
To see all the things he would see
I've often wondered how his day was spent
When he wasn't busy following me

We walked to a place in a crowded park
There were people everywhere
I sat down beside him on a empty bench
In the middle of a busy square

We waited for probably an hour or two
And then after a little while
Something by the fountain caught his eye
And that's when he started to smile

Another shadow came walking our way
A girl, as pretty as she could be
I just couldn't help but notice her beauty
But she didn't even notice me

That's when my shadow stretched forth his hand
And the two began to dance
I watched from my bench as the shadows kissed
'Til the air was filled with romance

They danced all day 'til the sun went down
And then went their separate ways
And needless to say I follow my shadow
A little bit more these days

Your lies are like a familiar face
That scar me to my core
You've changed the person I used to be
I'm nothing like before

You've hardened every part of me
My heart is made of stone
You chiseled away, 'til there's nothing left
Not fit to look upon

You put me on a pedestal
So that everyone can see
But they don't know the person I was
Or what you've done to me

You're proud of your creation
You mold me to your will
You consider yourself the master poet
And me, the poet's quill

You painted me to your perfection
And forgot about my heart
I no longer exist to me
But I'm your greatest work of art

You had to leave, I let you go
Though I bid you to stay
Late one night before sunlight
The angels took you away

The perfume on your pillow case
Brings me to our past
You're in my dreams but it always seems
They fade and never last

Your lipstick on your coffee cup
Reminds me of your smile
I know you're gone but for so long
I lived in blind denial

You used to take my breath away
When you danced across the floor
Your promenade would somehow fade
Leaving me wanting more

The birds that's in the Heavens
Still sing of our romance
So hear their tune, I'll see you soon
To dance where angels dance

How do you mend a broken heart
That's shattered into pieces?
I tried taping together the scars
But the cracks somehow increases

It's like a puzzle that's left undone
Scattered from here to there
Strewn about like fallen leaves
And lying everywhere

Bigger pieces crumble when touched
I cannot stop these breaks
For even glue will not do
When the pieces turn to flakes

It falls apart inside my hand
I'm even too scared to breathe
Without a heart to love and feel
I'm just too broken to grieve

My heart was used for many things
Like fear, compassion or trust
But now my heart cannot be saved
For it's shattered into dust

Oh lady fair, of twilight mist
Why must thou leave so soon?
What beauty will thine eyes have missed
Beneath the coming moon?

Thou hath never seen the dark of night
Neither the stars so high
Thou hath never seen the bright sunlight
That kisses the eastern sky

Trapped between the night and day
In a place thou can't escape
Never to see the magical way
The shadows change their shape

Just a prisoner of the inbetween
That vanishes in the night
A legend told, but never seen
A mystery to the light

Though fleeting is thy life long curse
Thou art blessed never to know it
For thy name hath inspired many a verse
To many an unknown poet

Oh lady fair, of twilight mist
Why must thou leave so soon?
What beauty will thine eyes have missed
Beneath the coming moon?

I whisper outloud my love for you
You can see it in my eyes
My heart will tell them what to say
Your smile becomes their pirze

My lips imprison my unused words
Words I can't deny
I scream I love you with my smile
Each morning as you pass by

A love I know I'll never touch
A love I'll never hold
But I'll keep your love inside my heart
As I watch the years unfold

Although you carry another man's name
In silence I'll stand in line
I see the way he looks at you
I know you'll never be mine

And if it's a sin to love like this
Then I guess I'll take my chances
For I'll love you 'til the day I die
If only in passing glances
