Shadows


Am I a person ?
Or am I just a shadow lurking?

I wallow in all your glory not mine
For I have lived there all this time.

I wish for the pain to be whisked away.
But unfortunately I have to stay.

Those words you have used made me feel worthless. You have always treated me like a little pest.

I tried my best but I could never meet your standards. I have played out all of my cards.

Those words hit me like glass shards.

The words you said replay in my head.

Like a broken record.

You pulled the trigger at your own accord.

I am now gone and six feet under
And you watched as I plundered.

Don't you understand what you did? It's too bad there was no cure for what you have done to this poor kid.

You thought it was all a joke, Oh just give her a little poke.

Only if you knew she had a limit. 
Do you even, ever regret it?
