like stars up in a clouded sky. i stand obscured from view whith shining eyes that did not lie i turn the pages for you the silent shadow in the night i smile before i steal behind locked doors in emptiness i am the things you do now i am your only friend you must love the chameleon not child, not man, no living thing you have no time for rest no thoughts no words to comfort you no smile or soft caress i am the rock the wishing well the secret to your fear the lighted candle burning bright the call from distant years
