eternal shade

Always coming from behind,
making no sound,
copying my every move.
My friend on the ground.

Imitating, moving with me,
even when I cannot see.

One day I turned too fast
and you weren't on the ground.

I wonder,
did I scare you      away?

My eternal friend
has gone               away
