"One Less Shadow"

underneath a perfect autumn coloured sky
they walked together side by side
until another season caused this love to roam
one less shadow on the road back home

a heart must have a reason our eyes don't understand
there seems to be some unseen hand
moving souls together tearing lives apart
one less shadow by the old schoolyard

one shadow still leaning out across a summer lawn
trying to find out where all the other shadows have gone

words can ring so hollow when your eyes are full
of love to comfort and console
this room without a window this broom without a floor
one less shadow darkening my door
