Spirit Shadows
Separating the spirits from the real
Never knowing what to expect
Sensing the joy that is left behind.
Shaping our lives around
The arguments and accidents
that have happened.
Separating the spirits of our lives
The happiness from the sadness
The good from the bad.
Letting the pain seep out and
Flow into the happiness.
Allowing the light into
The darkness that’s hidden there.
Clearing out the dust and
Binging on the times that
The light shattered the darkness.
Spirits slipping in and out
Of the shadows of the heart
Lying crushed on the floor.
Disturbed only by the shadows
Of the spirits that pass
Through in rhythm to the
Music playing in the background.
Burning and withering
Destroyed be the spirits
That cause the darkness to
Rise and take over the light
That is left in the heart that
Has just been tossed aside
Like a piece of non-essential
Trash on the floor.
