Ugly Shadow

Your ugly shadow has re emerged

Not even a 'honey I'm home'

You just seep through the slightest of cracks

Do I greet you and roll out the welcome mat

And offer you a nice cold drink

Of the blood in my veins

You're alarmed at all the pleasantries

And sneer that you'd never left

Wave after wave you keep crashing

Onto the shores of my sanity

Helplessly I drown many a time

But you resurrect me to witness the pain

Over and over again

You're bold and loud and ubiquitous

And I shroud in the shadow of sad

You're oppressive and rude and anonymous

And I'm hypnotised into loneliness

Just the way you like it.....
