Only My Shadow Moved

Only My Shadow Moved

Once I was a lonely soul
No one knew my name.
Loveless and abandoned,
Youthful and in pain.

Memories long forgotten, of
Years when I was young.

Scared of lonely tomorrows,
Hid what I'd become.
Ashamed and feeling desolate,
Disillusioned by what life brought.
Only tears of sorrow
Whispered what I thought.

Movement on the dim lit wall
Obliterates my tears. A
Voiceless figure my only company,
Eclipsing my lonely years,
Decimating all my fears.
