Ocean of Shadows

I look up to the skies

and see black in my eyes

but that blackness

is the shadow of the sky


the shadow above all things

the shadow that darkness brings

the shadow that envelops me

in all that it is


and the shadow will rain supreme

like water putting out a flame

because that is what shadows are

they will always cast you the blame


it will swallow you with its vastness

and extinguish your will

but that is your choice

that you chose it to kill


a shadow can only exist in light

a light you can't see

where light cannot reach

is where shadows will be


so be in the light 

and get the things right

for it was the ocean of shadows will

for it to cast a deathly chill


on you and your friends

a chill that never ends

and will only end up with you

saying, "what can I do?"


because your drowning

in the ocean of shadows

and the ocean of shadows

will always get to you
