A shadow of happiness

Sadness lurks in our hearts

It haunts our lives

It haunts our dreams

When our happiness fades away

It leaves a ghastly shadow

It leaves not a single thing

Nothing but sorrow

It makes my heart ache

Feeling left hollow

An empty hole left unfilled

A husk of a man once fulfilled

Left empty

No one to see him

No one to care

No one to love him

There isn’t a single person there

And still he craves love and attachment

He wants to be loved if by only one girl 

He needs to fell that love

He can’t stand alone as it is all he fears

It just hurts so much it brings him to tears

But the struggle continues and with no end in sight

He may only pray

That one day this sorrow will vanish

And end his pitiful plight
