Shadows

Mary Helen Trujillo 1987 (Colorado)

It’s the best of both worlds
It’s the worst of times
It’s the runner in me
It’s my will to fight
And I’m stuck in my ways
My unyielding cries
As I smile softly
I have tears in my eyes
Cause you broke me completely
You trespassed in my life
And your presence still haunts me
Your shadow still lingers on in my mind
