The Shadows Breathe

Step into the shadows so that I can see you clearer
So I can see through to the real you
I find comfort in the shadows
And I feel that you do too

Your mind is what I seek
Can I sift through it?
Maybe take a peek
That's where real beauty resides

Speak to the shadows
Tell me what they say
They won't be here long
So don't try to delay
You may not be perfect
But at least you're open

In the shadows, physical limitations are naught
We're conscious only of thoughts
The darkness masks my ugly face
And gives you a reason to consider
My thoughts and their taste
