Shadow

In love there is no forgetting. Ive forgiven you, Ive distanced myself. I now have a life where you are only a shadow, a life of my own where I breathe for myself and where you cant shake me. But you creep into my mind when Im between sleep and the dawn light clawing through my windows. Into my room, your memory like whispers in the crisp morning air. I beg you to go back to sleep and stop haunting my dreams but Im only talking to myself. Where are you? You who are the voice in my head, I tried to leave you behind but your shadow still speaks to me when no one is around, and sometimes we talk for hours when Im alone and sometimes I wonder if Ive lost my mind. Sometimes. But then I go back to sleep and wake to the sunlight and the sanity to find all the shadows are gone.
