Overshadowed

Your past
followed me day and night
at every corner of my mind it envelopes
Retreat, backing up every inch of my movement
but the shadow never fails to follow

I am now
not your past, not duplicated
Not complicated, it goes with my every heartbeat
Listen....I am now
not your past, trying for the future

I am afraid of this shadow
feeding me with so detailed essence of your past
bygones not gone forever
where the future could be

I'd pray for you to walk out
away from these histories
Hold my hand, bring me forth
forward and never look back
no more shadows that follows
Hold my hand, like forever
never let go
never let me drown into your shadow
never again
