The shadows embrace me again,for they know I've been hurt
in yet another love war.
Thoughts of why you rejected me flood my mind
faster than a raging river.
I sit among the shadows for their comfort.
Ice begins to flow through my veins as
the past flashes before my eyes.
Lies of rejection enter my ears like a annoying fly.
"Look,you're just too good for me.";
"I love your personality."
The list goes on.
Winds of change blows around me like an F-5 tornado.
Why wait for love,for it only leads
to depression & heartache?
As I sat in deep thought,tears started to run
down my face like the Matrix.
Any loving or sweet emotion I thought
I had is gone now.
Under my skin,cold waves bounce through my body.
Unity with the shadows is now my only objective.
Kindness converts to bitterness as I look
inside my photo book of the past.
Kicking it across the room releases some pain,
but not all.
Everything dealing with love & caring
is wiped clean from my mind.
Eating away all my pain is the shadows.
Even now,I wished I had stayed with
the shadows the first time.
I begin to realize that
the shadows never left me.
They were just waiting for my return.
Author notes
When everything is lost to you,you will always have the shadows to protect you.

All I have to say is my thoughts and feelings exactly. Its definitely a good poem and for some like myself it probably rung true b/c I know it did for me.

This is a fairly good write which I am sure many will relate to, You need some spaces in some of the lines seperating the words. "The shadows embrace me again,for they know I've been hurt <- Again and For there are a few others as well. But over all this is a nice write. Oh and the & doesn not fit in this write, it should just be and.
