Shadow


 

You fiend!

You make me worse than quarantine

Do you know what I have heard?

And what I have seen?

The evil, the mean

And If you with to put me down

If you wish to see me frown

You have to bother someone else today

Because I am here to stay.

You are but a shadow, a ghost, an illusion at the most

But I can boast…

That I am a rock full of caring and love.

So I will not do to you as you have done to me.

All I ask is you leave the presence of thee

And I won’t be getting down on my knees

So hark!

You Shadow of the dark.

                                                                  Leave me for all eternity
