- shadow -

when i close my eyes

i see a shadow.

a shadow

that traces those

places of my heart

that i can not afford to

revisit.

a shadow

that sketches a

despondently dark

silhouette

but still resonates

to the colours of

our reminiscence.

when the light fades away

the shadow disappears.

and all i see,

are those

deluding,

deceiving,

desolate

promises of hope.

and every time i shut my eyes

and i see a light,

the shadow torments me.

again.

and everytime I shut my eyes,

I secretly hope that

that shadow leaves me,

just like you did.
