Shadows

For Suzette’s: Light or Shadow contest “when you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives” Lauren Eden – The Lioness Awakens Shadows the bear chases you around the pomegranate tree your fear reaching extreme heights you seize the suitable moment to escape a fleeting flash of relief only for the bear to corner you once more the odour of its pelage hits your nostrils its paws are ferociously slashing at your body you are pinned helplessly waiting for the mortal blow somehow, screams distract the bear as if satisfied, it walks away, for now you are scarred for life you go about your life looking over your shoulder each shadow is now a bear each minute noise transmits fear nobody can protect you from this nightmare you terribly crave love and search for it everywhere locking yourself away is simply futile you must venture out you owe it to yourself to take risks in life or in love
