shadow

I'm a shadow of a man
that I used to be
as cliché as it may be.
In my mind I can picture you
smiling and laughing
with someone who isn't me.
I can almost feel your happiness
because I know that's where we used to be.
I ask myself why I should miss you
I can't answer, but I know I do.
I know how much you still care
so I can't make you a villain
even though I would like to.
When I look at my shadow
I'm missing something
and it's you standing right next to me.
I hate going outside during the day,
my shadow reminds me how alone I am.
The sun just doesn't shine on me
the same way anymore.
