Shadow

by

Dina Dinsmoor

She walked out
on that day
thought she left him behind her
didn’t know
he waited there
waited close
around each corner
closing in
harshest voice
closed out every ordered thought
spoke to her in whispered tones
said she sold the soul he bought

Don’t say his name
the nightmares haunt her still

Hands gone limp
eyes gone far
heavy with his memory
far and gone
and yet not so
distance cannot make her free
his face in dreams she tried to tear
she tried to turn away
saw reflections everywhere
and prayed to God she would awake

Don’t say his name
she’s gone

Face so hard like his hands
striking, struck her on the face
demon inside
her still
haunts her she cannot escape
existing in empty space
erase the love
erase the hate
what’s left is her hardly there
she is gone -he still stays

Don’t say his name
he still stays

NEXT?
