Slowly my ghost creeps through the shadows
He’s catching up to me.
Slowly but surely my whole body is consumed
Not by a fire
But by a shadow that will continue to bloom
Or fester 
Inside my soul
Taking apart the things I care about
My love for you 
Like a bird 
Flew far from the storm 
And with it was you.

Slowly I come out of my shadow into reality
Where I can once again love 
and accept beautiful things simply 
but then a little more quickly 
I’m gone 
Deep in the dark corner of my room
Where I lock myself away
Where sometimes I’ll stay 
Till slowly the light creeks in and one day
Slowly I might truly love the sun 
I might really beat the darkness
But for now 
Quite slowly 
My ghost consumes me
