The Shadows

I have not written any poetry in quite sometime.  I decided I need to practice some prose and work on the voices inside of a poem that has either a story or perspective.  This is probably some of the worst work I have done in a long time but if you like awesome.  If not well we share a similar disinterest :)

The Shadows - Sacif

As I rest my head upon the shadows
A thought runs through my mind of a time that once was
Broken dreams of a long love lost
I call unto the shadows
Take me

As I walk with the shadows
What I am now I can never be or will be again
A shattered resemblance of a broken man
Torn by the grief of time and loss
I called unto the shadows
Take me

Broken and torn upon the shadows
My longing and ache are as much of me as I once was
I long for the days before the shadow
But I called upon the shadows
And in the shadows I shall be
