You think you've seen the depths of me,
But my shadows remain veiled, unseen,
In this world of light, I walk concealed,
A riddle wrapped in the night's embrace.

Beyond the twilight, where the shadows stir,
Lies the dark side, my secret realm,
An inner abyss where secrets dwell,
A place reserved for you alone.

I guard this darkness, hidden away,
In the depths of a stygian heart,
Obscure, profound, and fiercely kept,
A clandestine world, known to none but me.

For you, I've saved this shadow self,
This hidden face, this secret soul,
A forbidden realm, uncharted, vast,
Where only you may roam and know.

Step softly, love, into my night,
Where the somber winds will whisper low,
And the murky depths will rise to greet,
Your spirit in the moon's soft glow.

Here, in these shadows, intimacy blooms,
A closeness carved from the midnight's womb,
Where secrets shared in whispered tones,
Echo like ghostly, forgotten moans.

Unveil me, love, in the pitch-black dark,
Where the unseen whispers of my heart,
Call out to you with silent cries,
Yearning for your touch, your knowing eyes.

You are the chosen, the one I trust,
To walk these paths of hidden dust,
To see beyond the light's deceit,
Into the depths where shadows meet.

Come, be the one to know me right,
To cherish these nocturnal nights,
And find within this darkened sea,
The secret soul, that is truly me.
