As I walk
under flickering streetlight
the shadow I cast tries to escape.
Darting and dancing
but forever
tied to me feet.
follows every step I take.
has seen my every high
and each stupid mistake.
As I walk
he keeps the pace.
If I try to run
he gives chase,
always right beside me
it's as we two, are one.
My shadow loves the sun
but he jitters
when it's stormy
and the lightning comes.
My shadow
sees the lightness
Whilst holding
the darkness in
He never gives me stress
Even when my patience wears thin
He just walks beside
Keeping stride, providing me company
My shadow won't break away suddenly
Try to flee, or leave me reluctantly.
And under those streetlights
He stands beside me close
When I'm fearful of the night
and it's hoard of angry ghosts.
My shadow keeps an eye open
even when mine are closed.
He blends into the darkness
keeps my demons on their toes.
