there’s a shadow that’s been walking by your side since forever unknown ghastly

this shadow knows

it reeks of tears, and masturbation blood, and fists clenched tight

this shadow knows you

you did show her everything everything you couldn’t show us

as if you could hide from her

invisible elusive queen of corpses and ghosts

you can’t see her she can’t touch you but she can hear you

she can find you

you belong to her

turn off the lights bring her with you

ears ringing she’s right behind you

it’s the fading silhouette of a whisper in the dying darkness of your wake

it’s a black shiver that runs down your spine

this shadow knows knows who you are when nobody is watching
