Dancing with the Shadows

Fear shame and sorrow

They all creep in from the dark

And stay with me till the day breaks

I'm dancing with the shadows

Carving circles in the dark

Cheek to cheek with strange creatures

Silently guiding me through my past

Actors with painted faces

Using my diary for their lines

Playing scenes long forgotten

I'm dancing with the shadows

Sinking deeper into the dark

Wherever they lead, I will follow

But how much longer will this last?
