Shadows

Falling from above

Tormenting, seething

Snaking between

Dreams carved by 

Hope's Promise

Now, nowhere 

To be found

Fearless shadows

Smothering what is

Left of hope's light

Overtaking

Her dreams world

A formidable haunt

Abandoned, alone

Unable to wake, see

Blinded by a faith

Shrouded in rapture

A withering ego 

Not of the heart

Shamefully spent.
