Precious Gems: An Anthology
: The Shadow by Gypsymooncat
The shadow within is merely a transient presence...



Alone to face a darkened night 

I look within to find the light
My search reveals a landscape, cold
The valley of my shadowed soul

Escape is never meant for me
My foe pursues relentlessly
Asleep I sense his baleful glare
Awake I feel him everywhere

A life embroiled and intertwined 
Within his barren, blackened mind
The mansions of my soul and heart
Display his sombre works of art

Once he leaves, his presence lingers
With the cold touch of his fingers
Stroking fear across my face
He knows I cannot leave this place

I will be here when he returns
For lonely fire within me burns
His shadowed visits keep me strong
In hallowed void where we belong
