Shadow of the night

She faded away like a shadow in the night

No longer had she felt the need to fight

Giving in was hard but harder still was walking away

With tearful eyes and so much left to say

That girl they said had everything going

Though the real problem was what wasnt showing

Every day was a fight to just get out of bed

The thought of another day filled her with dread

Could she wish it away and close her eyes?

So hurt and lost in a world so full of hate and lies

A world where she felt that no-one would care

If she was gone or if she was standing right there

So one night it dawned that she had to go

There was so much still that she wanted to know

Yet she wasn't gonna get that sittin round here

Not living her life for she was filled with fear

But it was a fear of that she didnt understand

Sometimes all she wanted was a re-assuring hand
