Shadow

[Ybird]

Shadow

A shadow of a former self

Hiding what might have been

Thoughts slowly fade away

With feelings no longer seen

Not knowing what I’ve become

Or what I’m going to be

Ashamed to face the truth

For fear of what they may see

Being left behind

As everyone moves on

Being left behind

Now everyone has gone

Being left behind

In the shadow where I belong

A shadow of a former self

Telling lies so easily sold

With secrets kept deep within

Which can’t and never will be told

Thoughts of you that have been lost

Past memories time has taken

Leaving nothing to hold on to

But empty promises so easily broken

A shadow of a former self

Once strong but now defeated

A battle that can never be won

From the fight I’ve now retreated

With nothing left to loose

I face the harsh reality

That a shadow of a former self

Is what I now will always be

It read like a song to me, I could even hear the music to it. That was wonderful, the words told a story that they didn't know they could. Thank you.

Thank you for your lovely comments. They mean a lot to me as I havent really shown many people stuff I've written. I wrote it a few years ago.
