shadows of the past

shadows of the past

are whispering in my ears

about the beautiful moments we had

my heart is weeping

because they are gone

back then, my smile was important

and you tried to conjure it

especially in hard times

what changed?

I am drowning

and you rather look away?

you think you are running

but you are standing still

you cannot outrun your burdens

I have to take them!

and you don't even want to see it!

how long can I take this?

living just from the shadows of the past…
