Shadow of the Past

Shadow of the Past by Melody Pabz 

     I spent my finest hours observing the harmonics of the planetary dance. The Earth moved through its summer journey. The moon was dimmed by the cloud. I saw a star fading at the horizon and I remembered a person who changed my way of life, the man to whom I silently given my heart. This opened a hole in my universe. My heart seemed to stop for a moment. Then, tears were rising to my eyes like mercury in a thermometer. Sadness rose up like smoke out of my ruined heart. It seemed his shadow remained at my side though he was far away from me…

     I was a pretender. I pretended that I don’t love him. I experienced the pain of sitting down with him and telling him that I was in love with someone else. I preferrred to keep my emotions. I’d let myself become carried away by the game of pretense.
