Intro and Verse 1
Why can’t I see
I whisper to the ceiling
Do you ever think of me?
I give a silent sigh at no reply
Why aren’t you here?
I need an answer to all of my prayers
I want you near me to wipe dry all my tears
Chorus
Your shadow tramples me
That way you stair at me
Does it come naturally
Or do you have to force it
Your hand is soft and light
It holds me oh so tight
But it’s your human right
To keep me hanging here
Verse 2
You keep my heart, in a locked box on your shelf
Is it gathering dust
do you clutch it to yours
And think about us
You’re In your bed, is that picture of me upon your self
Ever get a second glance
Ever given a second chance
Useless wanting one last dance
Chorus
Your shadow tramples me
That way you stair at me
Does it come naturally
Or do you have to force it
Your hand is soft and light
It holds me oh so tight
But it’s your human right
To keep me hanging here
Bridge
Do you know, oh do you know, do you know
The price that I’ve paid
The hurt that you’ve made
The peace and fair trade
That keeps me keeps me on your side
Chorus-
Your shadow tramples me
That way you stair at me
Does it come naturally
Or do you have to force it
Your hand is soft and light
It holds me oh so tight
But it’s your human right
To keep me hanging here
Ending
That way you stair at me
It holds me oh so tight
Does it come naturally
To keep me keep me on the edge
Author notes
I wrote this before the part2 song ( well obviously) But i heard something about the person I wrote this for in between that kinda changed my thinking...
Comments appreciated :)

Solid lyric, there pretty much all I write, I love the chorus it works with any number of rhythm's or styles. I don't understand the structure of your second verse it just feels like one line two many, and a few lines feel a little crunched but damn good either way. I've had some writer's block but I think this poem might have actually broken that for me, what do ya think http://allpoetry.com/poem/edit/4354149? It's a lyrical response to yours.

I really want to read this but I can't. I mean I physically can't (I am a little colorblind) would it be to much to ask for you to change the font color or the background to something less straining on the eyes? White is pretty easy to read on this background
