My Silent Shadow

Following me around
Always
Never harming me directly
Only through the ones I love
He has taken my Superman and my rock,
My happiness and my strength
My tears and my joy
Left as empty as a shell
As lifeless as a husk
Soul sucking
Strength draining
Spirit crushing
Last name Reaper,
First name Grim
He is always there,
Waiting to claim me as well
