Slapped By The Shadow

She forgot what sleeping is,
Because she had a nightmare.
She saw that he was going far away.
A shadow fading slowly away.
The shadow she could give her all too.

A blur of the image she had,
Coz she didn't find the man she adored anymore
In the image.
All she was a completely changed man.
A man who was devoid of everything they had.
A man who had once been the pillar of strength.
Had now vanished.

The man who could go black and blue.
Was now pale for he was numb of the feelings he had.

Her words didn't appall her anymore,
Her work wasn't good anymore.
She did not fit in his hug anymore.
She wasn't the beholder of his appreciation anymore.

Her song didn't appeal to him anymore.

Because he didn't love her anymore.

She saw the shadow vanish completely.
And since the nightmare, she didn't sleep.
Every day her nightmare
Became a heart wrenching reality.
Because what she now was empty.
Empty heart, empty soul, because she lost.
She lost everything with the shadow.
The nightmare which slaps her everyday
Even now.
