shadows

A silence pervades
Haven't reached you in ages.
For a part that is of me,
Silence within scares me.
Every nuance plays with me,
A game I can never win.
A voice tells me to reason,
Things that seem,
Will not always be.
But a child that was alone,
To grave does he a shiver carry.
For every passing moment reminds.
The sun does not love.
For if the moon were absent,
He is but a shadow.
