Shadow

Of Yesterday

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

How can you not see your shadow

Stretching larger than life

Sunny as the day may be?

It's a constant reminder

Of who you once were

Lurking just past the light

You're not supposed to look

But you do

Because it's there

It's always there

And even at night

When the darkness encompasses everything

Even when you can't see it

You know

It's there, waiting For the light to return

So it can remind you

That you'll never be too far

From the person you once were
