You Left Your Shadow in My Sheets

A cycle of poems «You Taught My Hands How to Pray on Your Body»

Empty rooms and silent beats, 
You left your shadow in my sheets. 

Every night the cold repeats, 
Haunting me with memories sweet. 

You left your shadow in my sheets, 
A ghost that never leaves or sleeps. 
I reach for you but find defeat, 
In every corner, your heartbeat. 

The dawn breaks through but feels so cold, 
Your whispered lies still take their hold. 
I trace the places where you’ve been, 
A faded mark beneath my skin. 

Every night the cold repeats, 
Haunting me with memories sweet. 

You left your shadow in my sheets, 
A ghost that never leaves or sleeps. 
I reach for you but find defeat, 
In every corner, your heartbeat. 

I try to burn the past away, 
But shadows in the dark still stay. 
No light can chase the night complete, 
When you left your shadow in my sheets. 

You left your shadow in my sheets, 
A ghost that never leaves or sleeps. 
I reach for you but find defeat, 
In every corner, your heartbeat. 

Empty rooms and silent beats, 
Still hold your shadow in my sheets.
