Bobby Darko - Shadow dweller

-The shadow dweller
I live... alone... in the shadow...
the deep and cold expanse of dark surrounds me....
I have tried to come out.... but the light... it shuns me....
burns through my soul.... with an incessant fury....
is there anybody else who lives here? I can find no one... but me...
solitary confinement... the greatest poverty of all...
for a minute in the light... would be the greatest wealth..... of all.....
