SHADOWS

 

Shadows drifting

silently shifting

announce the day

come what may

 

Vows all broken

words unspoken

a slim gold ring

a wedding token

 

Lies dicarded 

on the floor

remnant from 

the night before

 

Love is dying

she is crying

i am lying

in shadows

Hi Trevor. What stands out to me is the almost hypnotic pattern of the words, like teardrops falling - and how shadows are a good metaphor for the dark doom of the piece, also how real seems the ring and what it should stand for. (no guarantee). The last line is like a dark refuge.
