My Stalker

He lurks beside me but never ever talks to me Always silent but I definitely know he’s there My shadow … my constant companion I know he will never leave me until the day I die 09~06~16

My granddaughter was so afraid of shadows we had to keep reassuring her. She outgrew her fear about 3 and a half. I enjoyed your poem Jan! : )
