About This Poem

Shadows fall apart whenever you are near

Shadows fall apart whenever you are near

Step back from my life and they always reappear

Forever clinging to the black of my night

Screaming my silence they conqueror with fright

Longing for sadness is their existence goal

Tearing the light from the fabric of my soul

Eating my pain daily for there only meal

Waiting to devour my hope and love to steal

Corrupting my inner peace that I hold so dear

Inhaling my loves courage and exhaling fear

They swim in my ocean of tears and never part

Living off the pieces of my cold lonely heart

Getting stronger with my doubt each and every day

Knowing our healing love is only a whisper away

I call for you to battle for me with love joy and cheer

Shadows fall apart whenever you are near
