A shadow

A shadow is following me
Everywhere I go
It knows my every move
How far can I go?

I feel a breeze upon my cheek
A single tear falls
I silently wish upon a star

A shadow on my shoulder
watching me
Whispers my name

A shadow that won't go away
It holds me still
I cannot move

It is like a shadow of silence
So quiet not a sound to be heard
A silent shadow

A shadow of the night
Knows everything
Like a shadow on the wall

Each night as I try to sleep
I see a shadow on the wall
It will not leave me alone

It came in the stillness
Of the night
Like a whisper of the wind

A shadow that plays with my mind
I feel so shallow and slow
When will this shadow leave me alone

He made it clear he did not want me or love me.  When I was three he made me ride a bull.  I am lucky I did not get killed.  My mother was so scared.  Then my mother had my sister and she was sick.  She died in my arms w...
