My Shadows Shadow

My shadow casts a hollow grave
Waiting for me to sink and bathe

Foreboding worlds that for us were meant
A withering heart forever bent

Swallowing sadness from yesteryear 
Regurgitating madness is what I fear

Walking circles in the line of straight
Everlasting memories of poisons ate

Sunshine never kissed my ghostly hole
Brinks of hurt layered take there toll

Fortress of solitude soon complete
For the sins of sorrow do repeat.

I like this piece also for if you've read any of my poems you could tell that this poem would be right up my alley. Not too many other poets out right now who are expressing the deeper and darker side of things
