The Shadows That Linger

Shadows linger on his face

Long after the sun has risen,

marking the path of light and love

I wove in the stillness of the night.

Lost in passion, with my being pressed into his,

My heart was consumed in the heat of darkness

Leaving only the shadows that linger to contain

the parts of me I have chosen to leave behind.
