Chasing Shadows
Shadows give depth, shape, and perspective.
As we ascend the rickety stairs, we pass under strips of light and shadow cast by the exposed rafters overhead.
Shadows do nothing to hide your imperfections. They do the opposite instead. They emphasize the hollowed crevices dipping the planes of your face and your all-too-sharp features.
The light softens even the harshest of men, but it lies all the same in its blinding glory.
No.
I’d much prefer you this way- shrouded in shadows.
If you won’t let me love anything else of you, at least let me love the shadows you cast.

I'm not really so sure where all of this came from... This is my first 100 word drabble. Please tell me what you think.

"The light softens ever the harshest .. " it's not awkward so much as realizing what you mean by the word "lie". First read through I thought you meant to lie, as in lie down on the ground .. but second through I thought you meant lie as in, not telling the truth. I think that's where the awkwardness in that sentence comes from.
Thanks!
