Title: A Shadow of Myself

Gaping at no form,
A downcast face to face the memory
erased with time. No way
to count the days and make them count
for much. No strength to fight what might be
as I sit down to mourn.
I am a shadow of myself.
Hazy outlines of times spent
with no words, rocking back and forth,
pleading life to take its due course
and force an end to this nightmare.
No rewrites, life’s lines are set in stone,
and I but a letter not sent.

I’ll forever wonder where you went.
I am a shadow of myself.
