Her Shadow
My protector is a shadow
she offered no protection
my teacher of life taught me nothing
she is the shadow at night
Like this shadow I never want to be
strong and independent
that's the shadow I want following me
She is beautiful and kind but has no soul
she wears pain on her face
and is alway in control
I love this shadow with all my heart
but of her life I want no part
I question will I be sorry when she's gone
this shadow who's life with her daughter went wrong
regret will I have will it hurt me
this shadow i'll miss
no doubt it will be.
