Shadow of my thoughts

I was lost, confused and exhausted

Betrayed by the one I loved.

Wounded by your hatred,

I longed for a better life

Stood straight, faced it with all strength,

And then the ungrateful happened.

You came back, like a nightmare

Seeking something that wasn’t inside me anymore

My love for you long forgotten

But you came close, and I let you in once again.

In the shadow of my thoughts, it was all perfect

Everything just the way it was before

You knew I was vulnerable,

You knew I was hurt,

Only I didn’t know that you hadn’t changed.

It all vanished away, like a dream,

Leaving me shattered,

In the shadow of my thoughts.
