i thought you said,
it's over,
you have been my life,
but i never planned growing without you,
Shadows bleeding through the light,
Things are not always black and white,
Haven't I always loved you?
Treat me like a child,
Oh, please protect me,
But when I need you,
Bruised and battered by your words,
Dazed and shattered now it hurts.
and when I held you,
You were my life,
I know you wanted to close my your eyes,
You will always, only be a shadow.

Wonderful, wonderful poem!
I liked the contrast you put between:
Shadows bleeding through the light,
Things are not always black and white.
Raw and emotional, the way poems should be, Kudos!
