Shadows

Your warmth nestled against my legs from your fragile frame I woke up to feel it in your absence I could have sworn that it was real I must confess, your departure has affected me more than I would like to say, because it hurts to say So many years you echo in these walls I watched you leave I watched your warmth leave with you, but i could have sworn that it was real The pressure pushing on my knees I hope you've found the peace you need Lullaby prayers lilting like your late night hallway saunters I watched you leave So many years you echo in these walls
