Shadows
I watch from the shadows, a smile on my lips. Knowing you feel my presence, but I'm always watching to keep you safe. Darkness has consumed me, my emotions lost and cold. I feel your hand reach for mine, and pull me out of the darkness. A new light begins to grow. My heart once broken and damaged, you now hold it in your hands. One would say a damaged heart can never be mended, but you did just that. You carefully put those shattered pieces back into place one by one. Sadly I'm forced back into the shadows my emotions gone amiss. Perhaps someday that soft gentle hand will pull me from the shadows again.
