Shadow Of Yourself Poem by Joanie Tarr

Ever wonder why you cry
Ever wonder of days gone by
You sit and stare up at the sky
but life is lived in time gone by.

A Shadow walks across your path in the dark
A Shadow has left her paw print mark
Never again her mewling to hark
And I am left with the broken heart.

I ask myself why do I love?
Why feel if feeling is so fleeting?
What purpose was there in our meeting?
Pain comes searing, slithering, seething.

I find no resolution in love, no harmony
No truth, comfort or joy....
A void where once my heart had been
You stole it, controlled it and finally dropped it.

A Shadow walks across your path in the dark
A Shadow has left her paw print mark
Never again her mewling to hark
And I am left with the broken heart.
