With broken wings I fly for you,

and at times it seems so hard

With each passing moment it feels like I  can't

I tried to be noticed

I just wanted to be heard

But everyone walked away

Like I never said a word

They all noticed you

You

I am caught in the shadow of your love
Where I am safe.
Our little cocoon
Shields us from the world,
From prying eyes of those

I feel its heat

Not its light

As I push

My red wheelbarrow

 
Sweating beneath

An invisible sun

Only stop

To mop my brow

Caught in your shadow,
feeling alone,
knowing inside I can never go home.

Seeing your face,
avoiding your smile,
I was once yours
