The shadow's lament

in #hive-1614658 days ago


In the dark I was lost
I was no where to be seen
A mockery to my personality
I've betrayed my companion when he needs me most

Silent and incognito
What was I hiding from?
A mockery in the dark
Stripe of my royalty even before dusk

I've lost a company in the dark
I've hidden from the world
A torment at dawn
Let the shadows lament

Maybe I'm the betrayal, only showing up at daylight
What's my use during the day when you can see
But lost when you are blind, was I a true friend?
A shadow's lament to a friend

Perhaps, betrayal is one of the greatest sins. Your poem is both sad and soul-searching, it's such a beautiful piece.
