shadows walk with me
as I pace these floors
awashed in a deluge of grief
I forget to breathe
sorrow, the only constant
between then and now
knowing this day would come
brings no comfort
even the rising sun can’t reach my woes
in this space, Darkness wins
and so I pace, trying to trace the trail
back to yesterday
