Reaching For Your Hand

The loss of
each simple
thing
hurting the most
When drama
subsides
and time slows
to its worst
Your shadow
still living
inside of my
pain
To darken each
heartache
again 
— and again

To be mocked mercilessly by your own shadow at the height of your pain is a great calamity indeed.. it is a sorrow on top of sorrows! Your pen is power!
