Our young Shadiko,
The lining along the blackened cloud,
Her emotions turned into a knothole,
Her sweetness hidden in a shroud.

One young Shadiko,
Darkened by her wretched past,
Locks herself away from us,
Finding the solace in silence at last.

Lost young Shadiko,
Her innocence stripped away,
Confines her feelings to herself,
Keeping her emotions at a disarray.

Shy young Shadiko,
Her lips at a permanent dismay,
Push her to speak her mind
And you may never have your way.

Dear young Shadiko,
An ambiguous mystery to us all,
If I can make her happiness abound,
Then I am willing to take the toll.

Found young Shadiko;
The walls have yet to collapse,
Yet progress will surely be made
To heal the wounds of the past.

Only her silence I have profusely earned,
Yet her appreciation my heart has yearned.
Her mannerisms may be as cold as Winter's snow,
But to me she is my beautiful Shadiko.
