Divorce - (revisited)

this never happened before, that i am reposting same writing again. so, it shows that even i have fallen in the recycling-trap. perhaps i would have written the same thing again, intact,same words..same phrases..if i had to write it today, to reflect the thoughts jammed in my mind.and i did exactly that.even before i could realize, i (re)wrote this one in my Financial Management Note Book, for some strange-inevitable-unknown reason..still eluding me.

like a companion, my shadow used to live with me.
but we have now divorced each other.

ever since my feet took me into dark trenches,
like a jilted lover,
it began grumbling dementedly,
that i no longer sought its companionship.

i quetched in return,
that i could walk alone,
in the bright paths, full of light...
but in dark, when i needed a companion,
it abandoned me, without leaving any trace.

my companion used to live with me,but..
my shadow and me--we have divorced each other now.

And the guy sitting next to me read it and asked,"heard about divorcing wife, but how can you divorce your shadow?".
