Return of the shadow

The shadows of darkness have covered my heart
trying to live each day with a piece of me that has been torn apart.

Waking every morning with no desire to see the next day
having my coffee and cigarette with nothing pleasant to say.

Pushing through the day trying to keeping my mind occupied from sadness
another rough day with depressing problems I can't fix starts to bring out my madness.

When the day is done I come home to an empty house, it's so quiet there's not one sound
all the rooms are full of silence, with my day full of madness all I can feel is my head pound.

Sitting in my chair staying up all night dreading to see another day
the same question keeps going through my head " Is there an easier way ? "

The shadow of darkness has once again returned to haunt my life
I'm slowly getting older and im starting to think I'll never find that one and only special wife.

Hi Creedux, The title of your poem intrigued me, so I could not resist reading it. The Shadow has been around a long time since the beginning of time, it has other names like Depression, Unhappiness and many other guises, The Shadow can only leave us when we are happy with our self and our life we experience with friends and family, a lover and a wife/husband/partner, as you get older you may be more wiser but it has a trade off unhappiness of not finding that special person in your life. I myself have experienced this a lot since divorcing my wife of 32 years, I had 2 children only occasionally seeing one of them, and I do realise it was not the life I intended to have, life is full of choices but it usually gives you two main options one happiness and the other the Shadow world, if you make the right call life is wonderful, but if you choose incorrectly the Shadow will follow you forever, you could say it is a twist of fate, with only two choices every choice you make controls your destiny and when the end game comes you will face the final curtain wondering could things have been different if you had made the alternate choice, that is what life is all about, running the gauntlet through one test to another, whatever happens the choice is always yours in the end. your poem was really good and I hope what I have said will inspire more of your poems, all the best and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to you.
