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…
