shadows

Shadows of the past seldom leave us, specially if they are if people we still love even after they have left ..

I stretch my hands
But it's not you...
Just your shadow
That you left behind

I hug you
The shadow becomes me
Yet
Not quite me
It is still there...
With me
And beside me

You promised
But you left
And now I live only with shadows

And you know
Even in the dark
When no other shadow exists
Your shadow moves
Whispering things
Repeating promises....

I will join soon
Shadow to shadow
Me to you

My favorite so far. I am partial to shadows and I like the vibe I am left with, as well as the one, which was created along with the line "And now I live only with shadows" - Very exquisite line.

i can totally relate to it ! This is so sad yet so good.

oh my..... this is a very touching write. Sometimes they break their promises and leave you alone. All that you are left with is their shadows and their memories.
The part about seeing their shadow in the dark is a unique way of saying how much you miss them.
This one touched the heart. Well done.
