Afterlife of a Shadow

Fourth (and final) part of My Shadows

I open my eyes

That I didn't know were closed.

I stared up into the light above me.

A figure loomed above me.

"Don't hurt me!"

I screamed.

For once, I heard my voice.

For once, it wasn't a thought.

The figure had to be a Shadow,

Had to be my abandoned friends.

Why did it not speak?

Why did it come closer?

"Who are you?"

A gentle voice,

A beautiful voice

Asked me.

I laughed and smiled,

Not in control of my emotions.

Giggling erupted from my lungs

And tears welled up in my eyes.

This feeling was amazing!

How had I been living in the dark all this time?

This was utter bliss,

This feeling in my heart.

I knew it was my heart,

For what else could it be?

What else could make this feeling?

What else could make me able to love?
