Shadow on My Mind

The rain taps soft on my window glass

A quiet song for a heart that's cracked

I count the drops like moments passed

Each one heavier than the last

Shadows on my mind

They linger

They rewind

I try to run

But they won't let me go

Shadows on my mind

They echo every time

The sadness grows

It whispers what I know

The mirror shows a face I don’t recall

Eyes like tunnels

Endless and small

I chase my breath but it slips

It stalls

A maze of silence where I crawl

Will the sun break through this haze

Or am I lost in endless days

Shadows on my mind

They linger

They rewind

I try to run

But they won't let me go

Shadows on my mind

They echo every time

The sadness grows

It whispers what I know

I build a wall

It crumbles fast

A fragile shield that doesn’t last

I scream but the sound won’t cast

Just me and shadows

Shadows from the past
