Rhymes of the Heart

Faded Shadow

Just beyond my sight I glimpse a shadow
It seems so familiar to me
A small piece of memory a reflection
A whisper of someone that used to be

I want to remember and not forget
In you I still long to believe
If you're truly gone I need closure
Then a reason I'll truly have to grieve

I struggle to get just a little closer
But I falter in step naturally
You're inching away a bit farther
Till the shadow I barely see

You're starting to fade the vision clouding
Do I hang on or simply let go
Where's the dearest friend I've ever had
Please tell me I've got to know

As your shadow disappears in the darkness
I feel my heart as it breaks
I'll love you always I promise
For whatever difference it makes

By.Deb/nana5

No matter the distance or the silence I love you still my friend
Keye Kirkland you are always in my heart
