When Shadows Cry

Today I watched a shadow cry

His sleeves were filled with pain

He wept the tears of love gone bad

That left an empty stain

His tears screamed out in silence

For they didn't make a sound

His cheeks were wet with memories

As they tumbled to the ground

Have you ever seen a shadow cry,

When love goes incomplete?

He'll stare into his liquid pain

That puddles on the street

Deep within the puddle's tears

The shadow starts to wade

The love he knew has said goodbye

His reflection starts to fade

Today I watched a shadow cry

As it drifted out to sea

I could feel the pain this shadow felt

For this shadow belonged to me
