My Shadow
MY SHADOW
DO YOU KNOW SOME ONE WHOM IS JUST LIKE ME....
THAT REMINDS YOU OF MYSELF, KNOWN AS WE....
MAYBE SOMEWHERE IN TIME OR ALONG THE WAY....
WE HAVE MET BEFORE AN TH SHADOW WENT ASTRAY.....
POSSIBLY IN A DREAM OR IN A PLACE IVE NOT SEEN BEFORE.....
MAYBE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, AS A SHADOW BEHIND A DOOR...
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE WERE SHADOWS THAT REFLECTED LIKE THAT
OF A TREE....
OR THE REFLECTION WAS SCARY LIKE THAT OF THE WIDE OPEN SEA.....
ALL THESE TEARS I WONDERED WHY THIS SHADOW APPEARED SO CLOSE TO MY SIDE.....
AS IF IT WAS FOLLOWING ME, LEAVING ME KNOW WHERE TO HIDE....
PLAYING ME SO CLOSE AS IF IT WERE MY WIFE.....
NEVER LETTING ME GO, HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE....
I FINALLY REALIZED HOW POWERFULL MY SHADOW WAS, I FELT ITS PAIN, I FELT ITS HURT, I FELT ITS LOVE HIGH....
AT TIMES IT MADE ME LAUGH,GRIN, AN SMILE, OR EVEN CRY......
NOW I REALIZE THIS SHADOW REALLY WAS...
IT WASNT DOES OR DONTS, BUT ALONG JUST BECAUSE.... MY ADDICTION......
