Ode To My Shadow - Are You Myself Or Are You Just Me

Did you see or did you do, I just haven’t got a clue You follow me around all day only to then go away I told you once, I told you twice, that I am not very nice If we were friends it would be clear, that you and I do belong here But is that your mate or is that mine, remember we can’t go back and check in time I tried once to write a poem, but back then was not knowing especially what my words were sowing Just leave me alone in the sun and you and I will soon be done, especially when the light is gone I just wonder who you are and why we agree to be, especially as we could be totally free and you would no longer need to stand behind me It’s my fault not yours trust me, but who are you, well your not me! Goodnight my shadow… DAMO
