Her spirit

Never left these halls,

I suppose.

Nothing could change that.

I never saw her

Until she fled

Leaving her soul behind.

It echoes in the walls

In my mind

In the skies

And it won't go away

Because she won't come back.

Did anyone know

What I knew?

Did anyone see

What I saw?

I have no purpose here anymore,

My love has been broken.

No matter how far

I tried to reach out.

Because she never left

His mind

His eyes

And I see it

In every step

Every breath

For I am a shadow.

Shadows can see

Things like this.

She never left, really.

She cries with the wolves

Soars with the eagles

A path

I might have chosen

Eventually.

Maybe it was truly

Freedom.
