More than a shadow


More than a shadow

            My sweetheart

            A friend, sister

            Rain in tears

            Tracked by the past

           

            A haunting tool

            The demon of many

            But you strive in honor

            Leaving

 

            Windows of gray

            Bleeding their color

            But carrying their time

            As we have shared

           

            Moving forward

            Into the dim fog

            Unknown, unseen

            We can be side and side

 

            Onward along two lines

            Drawn to success

            Just believe in me

            Yourself most of all

           

            For you are much

            Stained on my heart

            A women of amazing

            More than a shadow

           

            Please stay

            Never go mellow

            Never old in mind

            Never stop being you

Hello! I'm 19 years old. I've grown a lot since a year an a half ago. I still write lots of poems just don't have much time to post them. Its over 600 but who needs count, art isn't limited by number but heart-filled effort lol. I pray everyone is doing well, thank you for those who have read my craft, liked it, commented and took time out of their day to view it. Currently I speak mainly two languages English and spanish while learning french. I'm keeping busy, GOD bless everyone and have a dazzling day. Oh that's me and my mom too in the pic if it even loads haha, feeling fresh;).
