Ghostly Shadow

Do you know your shadow? In darker times perhaps, my alternate host Do you see it play off your role? The way it dances to life like a wandering ghost It only feels like someone to know Shadows hiding to be seen And where life ensues do they only follow Perhaps my life to them is more a dream As whole as my shadow will be though falling apart He will not understand and neither will I Perfect moments only last for the treasuring heart Will my shadow remember me when I die? And I choose to look at my shadow when in doubt Because it won't understand and it won't judge If you can and only tell me what life is about... Perhaps my living life beyond a shadow won't be as such Tell me your extraordinary role A brighter time perhaps, when you are host Did you forget to look for your shadow? Because it dances your life into a withering ghost
