Shadows

About lingering anxiety at the back of my mind, constantly.

In the darkness, in the night,

It creeps and

Creeps through the echoes of the shadows

Disguised on the walls under kisses on the corners.

Out of the distance, a jet black bullet

From a silent bang

Runs like a legless lover,

Through the darkness, the shadows

Land in their final resting place

Along with the memories they have stolen

On their journey from the past,

Through the present,

Never to gain from a future
