Don't leave

its my first one ... and you know ... slightly rushed ...

I stand on my own

my shadow is my angel

standing close

it would follow me anywhere

but it cant save me

 

my hearts beating.

thumping...

breaking...

too young too understand

why? Daddy, where are you going?

he comes to my level

tells me im his angel

 

3 years of abuse

but his words still seem true

no one can take that away

my dad may be gone

but my shadow is strong

watching over me

 

 my shadow would never leave.

quite haunting imagery in this poem. great use of terse vignettes to tell your story. there are a few spelling errors but I honestly can't tell if they're actual mistakes or intentional stylistic decisions. good poem, brought a new idea to the table that I like to see explored.

Sometimes shadows are all we have to hold... and whisper to...
and they listen when no one else even knows we're crying...

You take care, quite for real...take care,
Chris

So heart tugging, Very nicely written and expressed.
