Oh, shadow, let me go, Let me go off of your hands, Bring back the light I used to see on the path. Take away my fear, And give me back my courage. I need to step out, Step out of your home; It makes me weak, It takes everything away from me. Let me step out, Just one more time, And then keep your door closed, Lock it with a chain. I don't hate you, I just can't need you At this time of my life. I shall return, When the time is right; When my thoughts are back. By ( Ilona Hesse )
