Raziaâs Shadow Starters
âPlace your hand on mine, untie your mind.â Â
âIâm a slave to the sight.â
âThe unrelenting constancy of love and hope can rescue and restore you from any scope.â
âWhat a splendid mess heâs made of this.â
âI must be patient, they will realize what I know inside.â
âI was meant to lead this world to greater things. Itâs my destiny.â
âThe sky and trees all blur every time I look at her!â
âYouâre not the only one who thinks theyâre falling in love.â
âMy mindâs in knots, itâs got me lost.â
âThe sun and stars turn dim, everytime I look at him!â
âCould this be the day I have waited for when all my hard work doesnât go ignored?â
âThey know I am more than some eager blood.â
âI just want to prove I deserve this gift.â
âNo one will be able to deny my skill, nor love for you.â
âYou canât change me. You canât have me.â
âLet my unique deft hands be known!â
âIâm gonna show you this once and then youâre gonna do it.â
âYou have a special gift, but they still treat you like youâre a kid.â
âThey donât understand. This is their last chance.â
âItâs your chance for revenge! This will show them!â
âNow itâs your turn! C'mon, like you mean it!â
âThey canât stop you.â
âThey underestimate you and your gift!â
âLet them cry their eyes out!â
âThey say youâre gifted, well I just see a scared kid.â
âYour cold, wicked soul boasts a foul scent.â
âThis mess that youâve made, itâs a six-foot grave.â
âWhat have I done? What have I become? Destroyed all I love.â
âYou canât escape your own skin.â
âSo please take heed of this prophecy.â
âYou have made this bed, now you must sleep in it.â
âIâm supposed to call this home?â
âWhy canât you be more like your brother?â
âThis kingdom needs you.â
âWhatâs the point of dreaming if it can never materialize?â
âWhy canât I live up to my family name?â
âYouâre a reckless and romantic rogue.â
âYouâre not the chosen one.â
âDonât you ever dream of some place better? Or a life thatâs greater?â
âDonât you ever feel like youâve been destined for something bigger than your skin?â
âIf you elope, Iâll hunt you down.â
âThrough suffering youâll atone.â
âYou are shortsighted. Naive and starry-eyed.â
âWe curb our speech because words are not enough.â
âTake my hand and trust in me.â
âI canât let her learn about my past.â
âIâm not after your throne or jewels.â
âI will surely not give up without a fight.â
âAll we have is love.â
âYou canât run from your history. Your past will seek you endlessly.â
âHe had it all in his hands and he watched it all turn to sand.â
âWatch out for the wicked ones who call themselves beloved ones.â
âWelcome to my humble abode. Please donât mind the mess.â
âOpen wide and say âAhâ. Let the doctor take a peek.â
âI donât want to alarm you, but you certainly are ill!â
âLucky for you, you found me!â
âIâve been seduced with shimmering, sparkling stones.â
âYouâve been lying through your teeth!â
âOh God, please stay alive!â
âI was shortsighted. I ignored your cries.â
âPlease listen to my last words before I fade away.â
âLive for your love every day.â
âPlease donât let your tired heart stop beating.âÂ
âYouâre bleeding. Just keep breathing.â
âPlace your hand on mine, one last time, and kiss me goodbye.â
