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
