Shadow


Wherever you should decide to go, I will surely follow

Whatever poison you choose to drink, I too shall swallow

No matter what you ever do, I’ll be standing there

No matter how you live your life, I will not despair

You see you are attached to me, and I belong to you

You haven’t notice, haven’t cared, I only wish you knew

It matters not; I cannot leave, for I am trapped -ensnared

Yet you won’t engage the night, for you are much too scared

So I shall chase you across this earth for all eternity

In the hope that one bright day you will turn and see:

The space the sun cannot reach has never been quite hollow

The path may be illuminated, but light creates your shadow
