âWhen you die,â my shadow whispered in my mind, âI will take over. You will have no control over what happened when I do. I could kill everyone you love, burn this very house down. But until then, I will wait.â
It acted as if my body would give out any day now. Iâm a woman in my late twenties. Iâve never had any major surgery, any major medical problems. I work out, eat healthy. There is no reaso...
When I died,
my shadow decided that they would take over.
All I can do is churn in my grave.
As my shadow takes over my life like a dark cloud looming over a beach.
Dark movements, dark thoughts.
Speechless, with lips but without a mouth.
Does the shadow have my thoughts?
In all this time as my shadow,
They have had no choice but to look forward.
Always behind me.
Observation was...
My soul left the world my shadow cast my life force like a hauting ghost over old haunts.
The shadow interacted with the shadows of cars where Road bus is where I sat places She a ghost where I cooked or ate
In the sunlight among the trees in the shadows Russell among the Windy breeze
Among the neon lights of the gambling casinos love mother the shadow dances in the moonlight
It is happy an...
In my life, I was light
Sugared scones, yellow chalk, and joy
A world that felt inexplainable right
But thenâ
The sound of a gunshot
caused the scones to rot
washed away the yellow chalk
hammered the joy away
Within my bleeding corpse
Within the rotting scones
the filthy water
the rusted hammer
A sprout of dark formed
Pure, unbridled fury and betrayal
Rewrote me in dark ink
I lea...
âOkay I understand Rory. Let me tell you one last bedtime story. Once long long ago there were two worlds living side by side. One world the day world was much like this world only brighter with the sun always shining. In all shades of gray, the other was a night world of magical moonlight.
âBetween day world and night world, there was peace for a while. Inhabitants of either land could travel a...
When I died, my shadow decided, they would take over
Take a look or a glance, over my left shoulder
Theyâd find the husk of who I was
Sit in silence by myself just because
Think clear, speak loud, things Iâd never do
But loud and clear my shadow pulls through
Separated by the light and the dark
There two sides to every coin
Too strong to pull apart
But now Iâm gone the dark takes over
Gone...
When I died, my shawdow decided they would take over. They cane from my shadow relm, the one deep within. They wanted to be in charge for once. I was not in control anymore, the dark passenger was all that was left. This dark passenger was in itself the epitome of horror.
The Dark Passenger went on acting like it was living out the days of the young girl it once was. However it knew⌠it knew that...
I didnât decide it; the shadow did. I watched myself wither in the mirror, day after day, losing weight no matter what I ate, becoming paler from staying inside and clinging to the darkness. That darkness became by safe space, my shadow, and the shadow became me.
Those who see me now stare openly, taking in something they donât understand. Breathing, functioning, but a shadow - a shell of a form...
