          There's a shadow
           that follows me
          Tries to grab hold
           and won't set me free
          Lurks there waiting
           for the chance
          To watch my breathing
           take it's last dance

          Like a darkness you
           can't cut with a knife
          To let in even a
           pinhole of light
          As I close my eyes
           to sleep
          The shadow starts
           to slowly creep

          It covers me like
           a heavy weight
          Hoping forever I
           will stay in this state
          My heart feels like it's
           being pinched in two

          Screaming with pain
           what do I do
          Like having my heart
           on a board
          And somoene pushing until
           it bursts forevermore

          This shadow has come
           to take my soul
          And make me lose
           complete control
          But just when it thinks
           it's won the fight
          I bolt right up
           and open my eyes

          Breathing like there's
           no oxygen for me
          My heart beating from
           that awful dream
          I laugh at the shadow
           once more
          For like a brave warrior
           I have won another score

Listening to every heart

This is a very intense poem...as I first read it, I thought perhaps the shadow was a precursor of a disease taking over one's body...this could go many ways. Thank you for this...very good!

I see the shadow as possibly your past
trying to find a hold ...
memories that seem to forever last
waiting to be told

Time will be your release now known
it all will be all right ...
to share the light thats shown
sending shadows to the night

A touching piece which I can relate to.
