Shadows

A poem about being invisible and eventually forgotten by someone you love and the effort of moving on (which is easier said than done )

Seeing you being fine with another person, in another time
I'm just a shadow, passing by
Love is poison to a fragile soul
When your heart's already broken, it can't go back being whole

Closing and opening doors
Surrounded by marble floors
Purple teardrops in the pouring rain
Oh when can you see the pain

Wishing on midnight stars
Locked up behind metal bars
Sitting in the corner of the room
Behaving like I'm stuck in an asylum

Even though you can't see me
I'm always there
Somewhere from afar
Suppressing a stare

Love is my drug
And I'm high on love
And I crave it even more
Even though it's gone

I'm broke and it's a luxury that I can't have
And I'm not glad
Waiting is a pain
And I'm missing you every second of every day

I can't find someone else like you
And I don't know what to do
I wish cupid had a clue
To find someone so I can move on from you

Maybe you'll forget about me
Like everybody does eventually
I've always been left behind
In the shadows for all of my life
