The Frightening Shadow Of My Love

Nothing more or less keeps me terrified at night
Than the frightening shadow of my love
Had she known
How much I shiver around her
As I lay to rest
The sun cast her shadow in my room
Then will I feel that cold shiver
Of her soft hands around my waist
I am terrified to scream
Speechless to speak
Paralysed to run
Away from the frightening shadow of my love
