The Shadow Behind Me

It follows me behind 
                 I can't see it 
                 I can feel it 
                 It scares me 
                 My warm blood becomes cold 
                 The chillness run through my blood 
                 My veins and 
                 Finally my soul 


                 From where it comes 
                 Not deep inside me 
                 I thought 
                 No, no, no...... 
                 Yes, it is there all the time 
                 Every count 

                It shatters my soul apart 
                I'm like a wind flower 
                Dancing along it throughout 
                My life 

                It is dark or bright 
                Still there 
                Piercing through my heart 
                Everything buried behind 
                Its' lies 

                Will blue moon rise up 
                But the it will swallow 
                Me whole
                What will happen to me? 
                I will be a flower without petals

It is sometimes "there every second" - I am picturing a bad memory, a shadow of a bad experience. Nicely done my friend.
