Love Poem: Shadows

Shadows

When you depart your memory shadows my heart
I get befuddle putting the horse before the cart
Familiar places seem strange to me
Friendly faces know just to let me be

I'm gonna be a dope and mope without hope
I'm gonna be glad to be sad looking for mad
I'm gonna be boo hoo blue yearning for you
I'm gonna be alone at home guarding the phone

Why must you go away?  My soul seems to fade
As I dream of you each night and all day
All I do is long for you shadowing myself in blue
Shadowing myself in blue longing to be with you

Return to me let the sun shine through
Return to me let me love you, sweet you
Let those shadows depart and brighten my heart
As your smile shadows my smile, heart to heart.
