Shadows

by Jenn   Sep 11, 2008


The Shadows of my past
hiding within the darkness
please don't let them in
show me you love me
show me you care

but please what ever you do
don't let the shadows come in again
their tight grip upon my soul
wanting me to go back to that hole
leaving me for dead

I don't want to be numb
I don't want to die
I don't want to live alone
I don't want to feel alone
I don't want to grow old
I don't want to let go

Please i know you love me
I know you care
but please
don't let the shadows come in

they will hurt me
they will confuse me
they will misguide me
they will lie to me

The shadows of my past haunt me everyday
It is your light that they fear
your pureness
your faith
your love for me
that keeps them at bay

I love you
Please say that you love me too

    I really liked this poem. it was so different from the usual crap with forced rhyme and rythm it seems everyone writes. but this one had actual feelings in it and i feel the poem ws written around the idea, not the idea forced to fit into the poem. so great job i love it.

    I definately understand the need for love in this piece, it seems that there is always that special somebody who comes along and just makes everything in our lives amazing. We all need love no matter what...Excellent job 5/5 GG23..p.s. Always capatalize "I" :)
