The Deepest Shade of Sorrow

A Flitting Shadow

Every day you'd stop by,

And try to talk,

But I'd just roll my eyes

And be blunt with you.

Every day you'd come in,

And every day I'd wish you didn't,

Yet still you came,

And still I cried.

But then one day you simply stopped,

I barely saw you,

And at night I would sit awake, waiting,

For nothing.

Whenever I would see you I would smile

And wave,

But you'd ignore me and keep walking,

Passing me like I was a stranger.

So now I cry for a different reason,

Not because you are there bothering me,

But because you are not there at all,

Haunting me in my dreams.

For so long I wished you would just leave,

And I suppose I should be happy,

Because it has finally come true,

And yet I am even more upset than before.

Be careful what you wish for, because sometimes your biggest wish

Turns out to be your greatest nightmare,

And what you want most at heart

Just lets you down.

So now I lie alone,

Waiting to catch a glimpse of the

Flitting shadow that once was

My life.
