Hopelessness, despair, failure, heartbreak, loneliness and suffering,
hovering above you in a dark way.
Not unlike the sun though,
following you wherever you go and casting your shadow. 
At night the moon will be there to cast the shadow.
When you enter a room it will be lit on one side just to cast that shadow.
On the days when you're lucky that the sun, moon and the lights do not cast the shadow,
You will bring yourself to warm yourself in a fireplace and again,
the shadow will be cast.
What an unsightly shadow.
