Eclipsed Shadow

My shadow had sunlight then eclipsed in front of me
It went in front of the moon becoming an apocalypse
Dark and cold for my sun has disappeared
Creating a darkness that brought great fear

The stars no longer twinkle for I cannot not see
My shadow has taken my universe from me
The earth has become a place of loneliness
Ocean waters now sit still without waves

I now live alone in the darkness of a cave
The sun no longer rises only clouds and rain
Laughter has become silent without a smile
A damp pillow in a darken room of gloom

My Shadow has disappeared
