Chapter The Shadow and the Root
Only him to adore
When he’d leave her side
She wanted him more
The thoughts parade of wonderful days
Smiles and kisses, and so they say
You’ll find the one whom you can’t live without
You’re all too sure and high, no doubts
But then.
You see.
The growth is beyond.
A mighty.
Tree.
A life has begun far before you.
But now in doubt it’s the shadow...
It’s the shadow and the root.
Exhale my lungs my breath is gone.
My time is short, the path is long
I will only go for as far as I’ll see
But the root is there, I can’t compete
I want to feel my love in truth
The shadow forbids beyond the root
I run to him in my dismay
The root is too deep the shadow says
Upon my chest across my mind
The hand is darkening my time
But must I face... or should I retreat?
My soul is crushed with fallen leaves
The shadow stares do not embrace
The root is there to bring him grace
And so... I depart as the shadow scores
The root must remain to shut the door...
As with the rule of time, I now must fade
The shadow and the root, both had their way
