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.
