My Shadow

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Aug 13, 2008


You may have left long ago but your shadow followed me home
and has been watching me since then.
I'm calling for you to come pick it up because it has
been playing cards with my shadow for hours and I fear
mine will leave with yours.
I need my shadow.
I need my past to remind me of all the past mistakes
so I may never make them again.
Don't take that away from me.
In order to make a future there must be a history.
All of what was the past has become the present leaving
the future to be questionably bleak and troublesome.
I'm sure in the long run everything will work out fine.
I just never wanted to go back to being this way,
even if it is a much lesser version of the past.
Right now all I want is my shadow back and
you're the only one that can give it to me.
