Shadow of Love

He waits for her,
A wall so high,
A hole that beats,
With every breath.

Watching,
Searching,
Loneliness so painful,
He blocked out the pain.

This story is old,
There’s never anything new,
The one who can come close,
Is the one who can save him.

I wished it would end,
That pain so deep,
And then it did,
Now I feel nearly nothing.

Why doesn’t it end,
This which sucks me in?
It can only begin,
To get better.
So where are you, the shadow of love that I cling to?
