My soul is lost in your shadow
I am lost in darkness
It’s very scary
Far and far all is dark
Like some silent moonless night
All My expressions are gone
My voice too is lost in your noise
My self is ashamed of itself
My heart refuses to beat
My soul is scorched like
The Sand punished in desert heat
I am washed away with this darkness
Like some nasty rootless weed
And my thoughts are numb too
Like an eternal dormant seed
No one can be seen, no one can be heard
For miles and miles, all my life
I have walked alone, hoping for a ray
But life had give less than it has taken away
My hands reach for yours
Knowing you were never there
But, I am a human too
With feelings to share
I too have a heart that wants to live
Share joy with love endless to give
All our vows turned futile
All the love is gone
I am reduced to nothing
Being trapped in your exile
Scars and marks say my story
That I am lost in darkness
It’s very scary.
(Based on a talk with a victim of domestic violence)
