Shadows Dance
As shadows play and dance away
upon the walls within her mind,
her thoughts portray of yesterday
and long lost dreams she left behind.
A candle's light glows in the night,
and casts its shadows from the past
of love’s delight, though ‘twas finite,
these hopes and dreams that didn’t last.
A once bright flame she couldn’t tame,
his passions burning uncontrolled;
she’s not to blame, it’s such a shame
that dying embers left her cold.
These mem’ries gaunt as shadows taunt
the tearful thoughts of love’s decay
with endless daunt despite her want,
and still these shadows dance away.
