Residues
Shadow Mar 2020
By the night one long dark road
the houses are deep in slumber.

Lucky I'm alive and awake,
can see the stars
in their vast magnitude of silence
gentle and not drunk
have love to count upon
filled with a will to live
feeling I'm almost done.

Having a life is a great reward
and with the residues
gets more valuable.

I won't cry over the lost years
would rather think
have been blessed with enough.

The stars grow blurry dots
as I slip into dreams.

I had a once upon place
and I'm grateful.

With dewy eyes
I hurry to the warmest space
beside her.

Why?
Shadow Mar 2020
Don't let him manipulate you.
He's influencing you too much.
He's using you.

Remember those?
Were they really true?
What have you done to us?
I knew your feelings for me were dead,
why did I carry on?

Thanks for the memories
Shadow Mar 2020
I stood up to my friends
To everyone who said don't
I shed tears
I've had fears
But I should've listened
Listened to what I felt
I should've ended this
The day I found out
You didn't love me.

Rhyme
Shadow Mar 2020
I wander through the sands of time,
Searching for that perfect rhyme.
The one which would set me free,
Comfort me in my hours of wee.
Be my constant, my wisdom tree,
Shield me from the flying debris.

But my search seems to be in vain,
Can’t find anything to ease the pain.
The battle between my heart and brain,
Is taking control, driving me insane.
Don’t know how long, will I last this way,
Can’t find sunshine, not even a ray.

But life goes on and so will I,
I will battle till the storm runs dry.
My body may hurt, the heart may cry,
But I will endure till I reach the sky.
May I fall by the pressure of the rain,
Look out world, for I'll rise again.

Stardust
Shadow Mar 2020
Galaxies have tapestries of stardust
weave each pearl of light
in the rapture of my love
I only ask for one speck
of your scintillating dust
to reach the sphere in my heart

I
Shadow Mar 2020
I
i have a face cut from ice
a heart pierced in a thousand places
so to remember
always the same voice
the same gestures
and my laughter
heavy
as a wall
between you and me

the ones who are most alive
seem the most still

behind the milky way
a shadow dances

our gaze climbs toward the stars

— The End —
