A shadow I can't see

There’s a shadow hanging over me, surrounding me,

Bugging me, embracing me,

If I turn around it’s there, if I turn my back it’s there,

It won’t fight with me, it won’t let me be,

Quicksand swallowing me,

With caressing claws and bitter-sweet grins,

A shadow lurking around me,

Not attacking, but never departing,

Following me, hunting me, haunting me,

I can’t fight it, I can’t ignore it

A black shadow I can’t see…
