Like a Shadow
Like a shadow that passes by,
Like a bright-less star in the sky;
You’re fading away,
Your existence is being concealed,
I desperately cry for you
To reappear…
Forgive me,
Like a shadow that touches my skin,
Seen, but it’s only an illusion;
Forgetting the past,
But I’m always in its memory,
Forgive me,
And let your forgiveness set me free,
Like a shadow that swims in me,
Making me drown into more misery;
Sorry…
In my head,
I seek for words of apology,
But now it seems to me
That words are meaningless,
Like a shadow that emerges on a wall,
And when the morning comes it would disappear and fall;
If only I can become my shadow
And confront you,
To ask for your forgiveness;
I would stay in my shadow
Until you forgive me,
Until you liberate yourself…
Then I am free.
