grasping at shadows

[harraser]

this departing shadow
that you cast
is the only light
in the darkness of my day
I try to grasp the insubstantial glow
to keep you from leaving
and returning my day
to its featureless black
but no matter how I try
the fact remains
you cant hold a shadow
and the gathering gloom
is all Im left with
once youre gone

 

[up all night]

ohhhh i like!!

its funny, how in a couple lines, someone can say something that "sheds some light" (no pun intended) on your own life.
i read your words, sweetheart, and i am forced to take a look at my own life... the way it curves and bends in a ring of happiness and darkness, swirled up in one. if i had ink in my printer, i would blow up the font on those 3 lines and paper my walls in them, to remind me that sometimes, what i'm holding onto tightest, is really nothing at all. but i think they're engraved in my mind. and i wanted you to know how deeply they affected me this morning.

but no matter how I try
the fact remains
you cant hold a shadow
