10/6/12
dark shadows follow me
they cover me with ice
chills down my spine
some days the shadows disapeer
with no warning
spects of light warm my skin
and the wind flows with my hair like water
and a feelings of warmth i am overcome with
completlness inhabits my mind
and i am content
but im riddled with fright
and eaten with fear
that the shadow may one day
carry my happiness away
and as i fear
one cloudy day
a shadow reappears
with no warning
and sucks the happiness away
and i sit there in pain
the sun has subsided
and the joy leaves my body
through wet tears
streaming down my face
they taste sour
and salty and bitter
and im empty
drained of my life
and once again
the shadow wins a battle
that i have fought for years
and there is nothing to show
except for my tears
