A Shadow

I was told:
“You are not the one--
The one I fell in love with--
Who are you?
You’re nothing--
A shadow hiding yourself--
Hiding from me.”

But you know what?

I like the sound of that.

I had been told:
“I have to say we’re done--
Your plans are just a myth--
What do you do?
Not anything--
You already have a dishonest pelf--
You don’t care, I see.”

But you wanna know something?

I loved you, and you did this to yourself.


I’m not evil..
I’m not blind…
I’m not ill…
I’m not out of my mind…
I’m not leaving you…
I’m not helpless…
I’m not getting through…
I’m not senseless…

But after all this time,
I lost that priceless you.

I am the shadow--

The shadow lost. I’m--
I’m unsure what to do.

And now I don’t know…

Do you know what I felt?
You make me want to melt.

When my love for you was blind,
I looked into my mind.
A part of me had died,
When forcibly I lied.
And now that you’re gone,
I have no more reason to go on.
My heart stopped beating--
My insides are bleeding--

There is no you--
There is no more to do--
There is nothing through and through…

I’m just a shadow…
Hidden among others…
I’m too low…
Screaming as children would for mothers…

But you don’t care--

I’m just a shadow.
