Canvas
If you approach with one step
My shadow will fade before you
Blinding your adjusted eyes
Accustomed to the darkness
The hollow image of my trapped soul
Clawing to free itself
From your binding hold
Hiding from the winter
Of vanished life you obtain
The colors of existence
Stolen by hungry palettes
Longing to be looked upon
As a delight to the world
Yet only glanced at as
The shadow which disappeared
From my loyal side
They will not remember
I shall be forgotten as a
Leaf is missing from its branch
Only if the shadow has a friend
Willing to fade in the moment
Pulling another to the dimension
Of dismal reality discovered
At that second, we will
Perhaps be noticed
Yet the number must be great
And we shall not receive glory
Only the hope of reminiscence
As a single soul recalls
The vibrant hues that once thrived
The colors which created the canvas
Of the thrill outside a window
When the light is blinding
Without merciful shade
From my withdrawn figure
And those of the others
Perhaps we shall be missed
Or the dependent may combine
Taking notice of our memory
Yet joining to be united
As one canvas
Discovering their true colors
