Shadow

See that morning sun,

those birds that chirp away

Till their sound die

I will be your shadow standing near.

Whenever you smile

Laughter is in the air

when you look back

dearth will stare back dear.

It will choke your voice,

shadow of your past reflected in your big eyes

Because I will be standing there.

Shouting out to the world you don’t remember,

Like the dying candle your love has flickered away,

to be replaced by a new blaze of passion?

Don’t tell the world,

Tell your heart

because in some obscure corner

my shadow resides there.

They say you have a heart of stone,

instead of a pulsating piece of flesh

a steel cage is stored.

But the last time I saw,

those muscles beat my name?

So have you exchanged,

All the love in the world

for hate, much more than you can take?

With each gulp of air

or swig of water you take

I will be standing there,

mocking you dear.

Don’t try and turn back

as the past you had burned with your words

It`s decays lie there.

The void that your mind had, unfulfilled

My shadow had succeeded in fulfilling.

But now I have been sucked into this stormy night

flying without wings and means

flying in this endless vast sky

which is slowly turning crimson and dry.

I am closer to the sun now,

it has magnified my shadow

it will engulf you,

and everyone for whom you die.

I had fashioned a goddess,

A goddess from clay,

which I revered as gold,

but slowly, sadly it has started to decay.

I take away my gold,

and leave the clay for other mortal to play,

I take away the luminescence,

but the shadow stays.

In the dark corner where the clay goddess stays,

My shadow still prevails.
