Shadow Of The Man
 
 
Be never the same again,
Cried aloud to self,
Never to give that which cannot
    Be returned,
Oh, what is the word?!
Unrequited! Alone again.
Be never the same again,
Eyes hold the gentle sorrow.
Never to dry the tears
    That tomorrow
Will fall into these hands,
Never to hold her again.
Be Never the same again,
When memory does not forget.
Never to feel forever
    In truth,
But once spoken true
Cannot be said again.
Be never the same again,
The heart given to the woman
In faith of purpose and belief
    Of unending,
Taken the shadow of the man,
Thus, will never be the same again.
