Shadows

by Beautiful Chaos   Mar 13, 2009


I am shadow in a world of light
Seen as wrong, but feeling right
Left behind to taunt the mind
Creating all that's hard to find

A tear of joy, a smile of pain
A want that doesn't know refrain
All you aren't I wish to be
Lost within this crowded sea

People pass and dip inside
Rewriting things I try to hide
Taking on the life they touch
Never really thinking much

When will it come, where did it go?
Did we ever really know
Could we ever grasp it tight
Shadows trapped within the light

    Did we ever really know
    Could we ever grasp it tight
    Shadows trapped within the light

    Jenn I love this ending and the way you put the question in the first line.

    I really like your rhyme scheme and the gentle flow it brings.

    Great read that really makes one think.

    Thanks for sharing Jenn
