Damn Shadows

An entire city lies at my feet

But you are everything, everywhere

I take stroll down crowded streets

Oh, there! You are there.

 

A shadow graced my lips

And I called your name

I reach with the edge of my fingertips

Just nicking the old shame

The feeling of emptiness

The one you left for me to remember you by

You told me not to die!

Yet you’re tearing me apart on the inside!
