The shadow
of a shadow

deepening a little more

...the darkness of your absence.

The shadow
of your love

cast away from me now

casting a greater shadow
than i could ever know

the absecne of your presence
an ever deepening darkness

the shadow
of a sound

someone crying
that turns out to be

me

the shadow of this silence

the presence
of your absence

this darkness
I can not see

my way out of...
