To Chase Your Shadow Away

memories of you
on occasion creep in
I recall happier days
buried deep within
and for a time
I'm able to smile
I grasp to it tight
for it's been a while
I long for peace I had
when I was around you
I had nothing to fear
how quickly time flew
but sooner or later
the bliss is chased away
replaced by reality
and complete disarray
what remains is just pain
the transformation is swift
any good thoughts I had of you
have been set adrift
it never fails to be
this is always the way
when I'm reminded of you
before long, I'm in dismay
the easy thing to do
is not think of you at all
so I don't let my spirits
rise and then suddenly fall
I do what I must
to chase your shadow away
perhaps there is a chance
I'll forget about you today
