In your shadow

In your shadow

A Poem by Alexandra Elizabeth
"

I'm dying back here

"
It gets lonely in your shadow dear
Oh, my
It gets so cold in your shadow, love
someone
help me out, I've had enough
oh dear
oh my dear
you know i just can't help myself
I love you
but you know it gets tough
when you love something so perfect
I've had enough

I could just skip town
forget everyone that you and I know
and strike off alone
maybe I'll come to terms
and swallow my jealousy
some day
but for now I'm smothered in your shadow, dear
oh dear

oh it gets lonely in your shadow dear
so cold
its smothering me
smothering me
it gets lonely in your shadow dear
please help me out
I'm dying back here

dear oh dear oh dear oh my. it's horrible to be overshadowed, but this is beautiful, my dear. the rhyming, the pacing, the wording, the repetition....it all comes together so well, it just...flows.
