Little baby Shadow, you slept soundly in your crib
Slumbering so peacefully
With food still on your bib.
I watched your chest rise and fall,
As I stroked your tiny head
and then I left you lying there
on your little bed.
The days then passed too quickly
And my teaching was all for naught
Because as I stand here watching,
I see the evil you brought.
You're not the Shadow I once knew
You're tinged with so much hatred
I wish I could fill you once again
With goodness unabated.
But as I lie in death's cold embrace
And guard you every night
Listening to your troubled dreams
As you squirm and cry in fright
I know you don't want to
