My Shadow

Shadow, shadow on the wall. Why mimic me at all? Hiding upon rising til out the door From early morn, you wave from next door Distant and forlorn you stretch away Then hide at my feet as we feel the heat Only to run away as the day fades Squinting, you wisp away and fade to grey As I step inside to watch you hide
