SHADOW SUNSHINE
He said he loves her, a fantastic claim,
And attracted to her inner beauty's flame.
He wants it a secret, a sly and hidden game,
And claims to be the light in darkness, with a loving name.
He made her believe he's an angel true,
With wings of kindness and a heart that's new.
They met, had fun, and laughter filled the air anew.
And she looked beyond, with a cautious heart that's true.
The sunshine of the night, a contradictory sight,
Shines with a shadow in the dark of endless night.
That very sunshine of the night, so bold and bright and light,
Is just a shadow of day, a fleeting, fading delight.
The very shadow with no difference, a mere disguise in sight,
A fake angel, hiding behind clever lies so bright.
He is just a shadow of day, a fleeting, fading light,
Exposing his true nature in the dark of endless night.
