Ombra

Here's the truth.



I frittered away my heart

On bits and pieces

Women who said 'ok'



Only to find

I never gave it at all.



No, wait.



It wasn't my discovery,

But yours.



'Finders Keepers'

As it were,

But only after

I insisted.



X no longer marks the spot.

I'm a ghost town,

With empty gold mines.



'Whoowee that sure was great once'



Maybe someday

You'll take your kids to visit

And they'll just say

"Why are we here, mama?"



Who knows if you'll have an answer

You won't need one.



It's just a shadow,

And shadows never hurt anyone.
