Chasing The Shadows

Contributed by kidpoet_213 on Thursday, 14th April 2005 @ 01:01:29 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Is it a crime to love someone
With all your heart with all your mind?
To want to be the one who is there
When they need someone to care.
Someone to hold them tight
All through the dark and stormy night
So they will never feel unloved.
Giving them a shoulder to cry on
And a love thats so unconditional
Its so nontraditional.

Chasing the shadows from their minds
Replacing them with the light of love.
Chasing the pain from their hearts
And replacing it with love.
Chasing the empty dreams in their lives
And filling them to the brim with love.

In this old world
When push comes to shove
People rush to judge.
When they know not what is really going on.
In a perfect world
We live not.
We are chased by the shadows of our pasts.
Relentless is the chase from the demons to haunt us again.
We find we need someone to comfort and redeem us.
To set us free again
To live again my friend.

Is it a crime to love someone
With all your heart with all your mind?
To want to be the one who is there
When they need someone to care.
Someone to hold them tight
All through the dark and stormy night
So they will never feel unloved.
Giving them a shoulder to cry on
And a love thats so unconditional
Its so nontraditional.

I feel them trembling with fear
But never see a shed tear
As the thunder crashes all around
And the lightening strikes at the ground.
My love would be reaching out
To hold them so near.
Nestled against my side
To feel their warmth mingling with mine.
My arm would be cradling them close and tight
Holding them through the stormy night.

Is it a crime to love someone
With all your heart with all your mind?
To want to be the one who is there
When they need someone to care.
Someone to hold them tight
All through the dark and stormy night
So they will never feel unloved.
Giving them a shoulder to cry on
And a love thats so unconditional
Its so nontraditional.

Chasing the shadows from their minds
Replacing them with the light of love.
Chasing the pain from their hearts
And replacing it with love.
Chasing the empty dreams in their lives
And filling them to the brim with love.

My love will be reaching out
Chasing the shadows... away.
