Beyond the shadows of the fire,
I watch you.
The shadows flick across your face,
Eerie in the night.
Or is that the real you,
That looks so menacing?
Beyond the shadows of the fire,
I feel you.
The range of emotions coming from your skin,
Rises like waves against me.
Are these the feelings that show not by day,
But fly free in the night?
Beyond the shadows of the fire,
I hear you.
The silent screams coming from the
Stiffness of your body haunt me.
Are these the sounds that I never heard,
Or are they simply the sounds of the dark?
Beyond the shadows of the fire,
I miss you.
The distance between us is greater
Than any wall you could ever build.
Do you ever really see me anymore,
Or am I some kind of ghostly memory?
Beyond the shadows the fire,
I watch you.
