Walking With Shadows

All my life,
they've been here.
Waiting for you.
Patiently.

All they want is your heart and soul.
They want your tears to fall.
All they want is your purest sin.
They want to welcome you in.

They will seem
innocent,
but they will lead you
back to me.

All they need is one tortured soul.
They need walking shadows.
All they need is your last confession.
They need your pain to show me.

I'm waiting for the unforgiven.
Waiting for sleep to come.
I'm waiting for my one obsession.
Waiting for you to come home.

'Innocence is pain in disguise,'
they said.
Now I believe.
