Shadows
All we are is
just shadows
Without bodies,
immaterialized.
What will matter then
sifting through dark
No flesh left to torture
no substance left to taint
This life haunts me
even when I close my eyes
Maybe when I lose my touch
When I lose my senses
I'll be myself again
Free from the curse of being alive in this world
Nothingness creeps closer to me
I feel it watching me
I exist but always just a step away
from sinking into the abyss of time forever
I can't move, entrapped in stone
Always just a second away
from becoming a shadow
Spending this life as a shadow
(and that's what I'll do in next).
