My Shadow friend is kept in the dark.
She is a mermaid on my wall of dreams
If I let her go she will run into my worst nightmares.
So I keep her under lock and key.

My Shadow friend is kept in the dark.
She is now missing
I warned her about the monsters and goblins that live in the corners of my mind
It is too late to look for her
She is now another missing person on the back of the milk carton

My Shadow friend is kept in the dark.
She betrayed me
She befriended the one eyed monster of guilt
I shall never trust her again

I let her go.
She eloped into the outer corners of my mind
I talked her to death
I witnessed the blood smeared into the crevasses of my brain.
I am forever bound to my shadow friend
