Shadows Poem by Trevor McLeod

The darkness converges
covering me in it's clamy hand
I shudder at the cold touch
my skin crawls at contact

I look to the sun to warm me
and yet I feel nothing
only this creeping cold
that crawls along my skin
seeping through chilling my soul

even here in the sun
I cannot feel the suns
warms embrace
even now
the light faces
only darkness remains

to think
all because I failed
I failed the one person
who loved me the most
I failed the angel of my dreams
instaed of giving her happiness
I turned her life to hell

I know stand in the darkness
of my own making
sorrow clouds my soul
pain racks my heart
turmoil fills my head

I have failed
as I always will
