My Shadow Leaves Without Me

An aftermath of sorts...

I travel these roads only at night

They look better in the glow of headlights

Tonight my shadow leaves without me

The most beautiful things in my life

Emerged from ugliness and painful fights

Tomorrow the sun will remind me

So many things I still want to do

Do I have the right now that there's you

Tonight the clock's ticking to spite me

Now I live on this side of my door

Sitting still 'til I'm alone no more

Tomorrow your eyes will unite me

The journey is worth the effort when we find a place we are content. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
