Unknown

Like a shadow it is
Dark and unknowing
Unsure of who, what, when or why
Can you see it or can you not
Only transposed by the light
Chasing forever your soul
When seen there is fear
For the pain that lingers.
Appearance always changing
A face unrecognizable
To whom it once was.
Grief expounds borders
Spilling into aspects
Never realized.
Dormant no more
