Shadow

You were everything

The one everyone loved and wanted

I was the shadow

The one no one saw

The one nobody cared for

You left with blame

Blaming others for your problems

When you left, rivers were shed

Everybody missed you and ached for you

Only did after they wipe their eyes did they see me

Telling me of their love for you

Our worlds have changed

I rose out of my darkness

People began to see me

No longer just a shadow

But they never loved me as much as you

You left me stranded

Without a life line or means of comfort

I learned to deal

People were stuck with me because of you

Soone they saw me as a person

But never as they saw you

With your beautiful face

Beautiful smile,

Beautiful personality

I got over your being gone

But now they say you're coming back

Things have changed for us

Worlds are changing again

You have another with you

And we have no room

It doesn't matter

They always loved you

Always would have done anything for you

Push me out of the way to be with you

You hurt them and now offer an apology

Of course they love you

Of course they would do anything

You left in such a hurry

Causing such pain

Now you're coming back

And I will be nothing but a shadow again.
