Shadows of Pain

 

 

Those Shadows in the stillness

If you cannot see them

Are they really there?

Were they ever here?

 

Is the air a little colder?

Do you suddenly feel older?

Can you feel the movement?

Within this atmosphere?

 

Has the past come back to haunt you

Is it yours or older still?

Are these the shadows of your pain

Still hidden in the memories

Deep in the recesses of your brain?
