Shadows

March 15, 2007

They constantly follow you

And never lead your side

They are always there

To mirror you, to watch you

To mimic every action.

Sometimes they aren't with you

They are wandering somewhere else

Only to return when the light returns as well

To go back to being

A fragment of a person.

They are stuck to you

Every step you take

They are on your heels

Walking behind you

As a dark, vague shape

They are just blurry shapes

A fragment of a person.

Sometimes shadows find someone new

And cling to them

Instead of clinging to you

And you are left alone

Without someone to be there for you

Or stay by your side

You wish you can get it back

But your shadow is always there as

A fragment of a person.
