Shadow of my former self

I don’t have a shadow
It leaked into my skin
Filling me with inky blackness
A substance like the stars
Thick and suffocating
I drown in it
Filling my mouth and eyes
A muffled scream escapes
Choking on salty shadows
Burning in my lungs
Stinging my wounds
Stopping my heart.
Finally.

This poem is about: 
Me
