a shadow and a thought
by Rachna Vohra
he was a shadow and a thought in my life
but his thought was deeper than any other thought that has ever crossed my mind
and his shadow was darker than any other shadow that has ever darkened my path
he was the thought that kept my eyes moist with an empty tear
he was the shadow that lay by my side on empty nights
he was the thought that crept through the chambers of my soul
he was the shadow that shed light in the chambers of my heart
he was the thought that shadowed all other thoughts
he was the shadow that darkened all other shadows
he was a shadow and a thought in my life
but his thought was darker than any other shadow that had crossed my mind
and his shadow was deeper than any other thought that had darkened my path
