this is a poem I wrote for my father, rest his soul. I was a shadow always following him.
Shadow

I was once your shadow but then you went away.
I tried so hard to follow but I couldn't find a way.
I am left a fraction of the person I should be.
I was once your shadow, but now I'm only me.

Inside I scream for the pain is great,
the best part of me
has been ripped away.
I love you and my heart is crushed.

I'm not the person I once was. 
Part of me has gone with you
the other part is forever blue.
The shadow has been split away.



a poem
for daddy
