Shadow People

  

Shadow People

 

Love should be shown, not spoken

Mere words don’t help to heal what’s broken,

These shadow people whisper how they long to understand,

Yet they refuse to leave their empty shadow land,

They speak melodic words of how deeply they love,

But they sleep below the surface while I struggle up above,

To simply hear their shadow voices, above all odds I leap,

But their position in my memory is one they’d rather keep,

One new day of love and laughter is all that I did ask,

Instead the shadow people linger on the wall that is my past
