Loss of Shadow

Wrote this after I found out my second wife was cheating on my and had already made plans to leave me.

I lost my shadow

That dreary September day

Or so I thought

Melancholy my mood

Scared to be alone

Saddened by loss

Arms of another

Stole my light

Darkness already in motion

Two years before

Faltering of a candle

Losing the flame

Nearly burned down

Feeling near nothing

Blind to the change

Chilled room echoes

Distance from the source

Tired of the games

Wanting something more

Then new light

Vibrant and pure

Despite some use

A radiant beauty

Warms my heart

Soothes my soul

Found shadow again

Stronger than before

Built of light

Reflection of love

A welcome change

No longer haunted

By my past

Bathed in warmth

No longer afraid

Future so bright

I shadow you

You shadow me
