-shadow dancer

no one has ever cared to notice  
all the times that she's died  
so she stares at her reflection  
like there's nothing to see  
 
she feels like a ghost  
with no place to hide  
transparent and alone  
like a colorless rainbow  
searching for meaning  
 
if she only knew  
how her smile  
is like the break of dawn;  
how her soul lights the way  
to places I'd never believed existed  
 
brave shadow dancer  
don't be afraid  
for I know your heart better  
than those whispers in the shade
