my shadow

What I left behind was a shadow
A promise a vision a part of my past
A shadow of my former self holding on still
A dream to hold no one else can help

What I left behind was a shadow
Still dreaming of that shadow that once was my all
the shadow was real I even touched it
No one understands the shadow but me

I have tried to explain it but no one gets it
The shadow will always be there in my dreams
What I left behind was a shadow
no one else can help not now not ever.
