Shadow

by myself things just dont seem to change
i'm holding on to what theres left of me
there's no one else but myself to blame
i wish i knew how to never feel this way again
the shades of likeness between you and me
are far from what it used to be
pretend there's no shadow
you don't say it's name
but since it's descent i've not been the same
but this time I won't let it stake it's claim
i wish i knew how to never feel this way again
all this time
and now i see
what was the shadow
and what was me.
