Announcement time, this time next week will be the last time I post on this app/website. This was not an easy decision to make but it is very much for the best. I will be saving all my works from the beginning to the very end, I will go with head held high, streak ended and will be deleting my account the following week. To those who have supported me and this app over the past 2-3 years it has been a ride and I am deeply appreciative of everyone. BTW who all know who you are, we have supported each through thick and thin and to those who have made their starts on this app, I wish you well and I love you all. I have been many names to many people, so choose what feels appropriate, my DMs are open until I close my account. Good day, goodnight wherever you may roam… Shadow … I love you baby 🖤

Cracks form, From your storm. And your steel, That has brought me to heel. On one broken knee, I feel it build within me. Hands pressed on these crushed shoulders, Like my chest lost under weight of boulders. Splits open, From your wretched pen. And your ragged claw, Opening me up into a maw. Now I fall to see the sky, As your anguish cuts my good eye. Fingers squeezing my kneecaps, As I search for peace in the gaps. It never was to be. That trapped soul. Needing to be whole, My scars scream, Without words. In silence. … I love you baby, to the ends of our horizons and beyond 🖤

It’s never uphill, Just as steep as we make it. You can either walk through shit, Or be forever still. The top is always daunting, Being weak can be haunting. As you will rue the lost chances, And those declined dances. "take my hand, follow my lead..." It's never downhill, Just as steep as we make it. You can either take the hit, Or be life's shill. The bottom is always the destination, And to be part of the human condition. As we can find our peace, And let chaos cease. "and let empathy be your creed" ... I love you Baby

Watch as the crowds amass, Breaking down the safety glass. Did I do something wrong, As they pile forward a thousand strong. “Was It enough?” Hoping this was all an illusion, And i could feel something. When all is said and done, These tears will never sting. *exhale* I want to just go, Let’s these words lurch. This was my church, But that was a lifetime ago. *smile* Watch with you by my side, Our warmth to never subside. Let them break what they need, And let them think it’s a good deed. “Was it enough? Yes my love it was” … I love you baby 🖤

This feels apt, so let’s go… … In the wake of dusk, I feel the rain strain the skies. The night bought into these lies, And leaving the promise full of trust. “Too feel your fingertips circling my cheeks” At the peak of midnight, The heavens lost their fight. And gave in to the stars it held, longing to feel the stars as they fell. “Feel the warmth under your touch” Into the hours that followed, The skies were alive with streams of light. Celestial bodies falling into our sight, Claiming the plane which they once borrowed. “Our smiles gentle as the stars lit our world” Into dawn we started to creep, The starless sky now ceased to weep. Light prickling the horizon, Knowing the darkness had won. “You are the stars and I am the sky” … I love you baby 🖤 … This is it, I wish all whom have supported me and suffered through all the toil and troubles of my works a grand grand thanks, one that will never end. You know who you are. May all whom have commented and or like and shared my work I am grateful for you. It’s been close to over three years and I remember my beginnings, my first likes and comments as well as the support that followed. My heart isn’t heavy. I will miss you all and love you all in the same measure. Goodnight. Shadow… 2022-2025 👑🖤💚🦋

I was responsible for my pain, But you were not responsible for inflicting. Deep in my chest it lies to keep me sane, Otherwise the scars and blood would be king. This is my heart to care for, But you chose to come through the door. Hold my beating heart close to your chest, Knowing you will do what is your best. “Our hearts like glass, but precious like diamond” I was not responsible for my Love, But you came in like part of us was missing Not an angel sent from above, But someone whose love we could sing. “Sometimes butterflies meet in the shadows” … I love you baby 🖤

For the heavens hold wealth, At the cost of such ego death. But it’s in service of the soul, The one who chose to no longer be coal. “These stars are mine, but you shine forever brighter” I feel the grass beneath feet, It grows faster than I do. What such an amazing feat, To feel the air and stay true. “This ground is ours, but we will be stronger” The air is rough against my cheek, And thus I turn to what I seek. A horizon worth a thousand seeds, All I need is to burn all these weeds. “The horizon craves our presence” … I love you baby 🖤

Mercy is the pyre onto you wish to burn me, But douse me in those ashes so I can be free. So then I can wash away this anguish, And give in to my last wish. My shadow is made of soot, Into which I hide my loss. And yet I am yet to be cross, As I quash those feelings under boot. “You’d never have guessed” For I have reached the roof, Seeing the stars burn is proof. But there is nothing else here, Gone is all of that fear. Wishing for more tools, All I find is emptiness, Into which I confess, I am sick of such rules. “I’d never fucking rest” I sit here counting the stars, As I mine deep in my scars. For the pain and blood to air, But even that ain’t rare. The night is getting cold, And these bones are aching. Wishing I was some kind of king, No, I’d never be that bold. “The page is finally empty” … I love you baby 🖤
