Shadowcover

Shadows crawling up my back
Keeping me from living
I’m running, panting
Looking again and again
Over my shoulders

Shadows of past sundowns
Clinging to my soul
I’m shaking, screaming
Trying to loose
Their sharpest claws

Dropping shadows
In my way
Shadows of what was
And what may be
Maybe tomorrow

Running, Screaming
Doesn’t help
Darkness travels faster than light
I stand in the shadows
Eyes closed, hope falling
Needing sunshine more than ever
Praying, begging
Being busy hating shadows
That the light at the horizon
Stays undiscovered
