Shadow

That shadow keeps following me

It keeps hurting me

Glued to my feet

In each step

Hammering my chest

In each heartbeat

 

Despicable shadow,

I can\'t see you

But I can feel you behind me

Hauting every moment of your existence

Reminding me your existence,

Reminding me you have never left.

 

You won\'t  go away

You are thirsty

Craving to drink my tears

Craving to drink my blood

You are starving

Craving for my flesh

 

Metallic smell...

I feel you holding me

Sharp words...

I hear you whispering softly

Your invite to harm

Your invite to suicide

 

Dark silhouette,

I can’t get away from you.

Why do you keep doing this?

Testing how much I can go through

I know you like what you see

Watch how much can you destroy me

 

Shadowy figure

I’m trapped to you

I can’t fight it

I can’t deny it

You won’t leave me alone

After all,

You are my shadow.
