My Shadow

Here I wonder through this bitter world

Its nectar sweet to my burning heart

Something so taunting entangles my mind

Lost in a moment of painful yearning

My body trembles under life's grip

A stinging sensation overwhelms me

Pushing and pulling me in every direction

I can't out run it or even fall behind it

I'm never alone.. it's always there

I long for the one thing that I can't have

So close to me. But too far I can't reach it

Teasing me with its bitter kiss on my lips

Not giving me more then a taste of its passion

But leaving me a bitter mouthful to remember

The pain will always follow close behind me.

Like a Shadow stitched to my skin, I'm not alone.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just when I think I found something great, something bad always turns out and my shadow of a past tackles me with bad memories. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever trust again.
