You walked in
Leaving footsteps on my heart
Marked in the shadows they were
But in the empty hollows
They filled with light
With love
You walked into my world
As it was starting to brake again
You took both sides in your gentle hands
Pulling them close again
Helping me to breathe
I held your soul in my hands
Protected you from hard
Placing myself in front of you
All I endured was for you
I stood in the darkness with you
To keep you safe
You are my mother...
I can’t say I understand
Because I don’t
But I can’t beg you to stay
I love you too much
So as these tears
Flow down my face
My heart reaches yours
Forever you will be held
I love you so much
Your shadow daughter
Always
