The devouring

As I watch in vain
I lay beside you
Stare into your eyes
But I only see your shadow

You have become
Lifeless inside
Stripped away
Your fires gone

As I watch you die
I stand beside you
Skin runs cold
But I only see your shadow

Slowly devouring you
But I'm resisting
I refuse to be
Put down by you
Or chained to sorrow

Nothing remains
For you to take
I know my mind
Is clear no doubt at all

As I watch in vain
I lay beside you
Stare into your eyes
But I only see your shadow

Slowly devouring you
But I'm resisting
I refuse to be
Put down by you
Or chained to sorrow
