Shadow

I lurk behind you,
I am the outline of
your darkness,
Created by the light
in the sky,
I am a deceiving
shape,
Yet I am still your
clone,
I run around you
because of the
light,
I am the darkness
inside of you
personified,
You try chasing me,
But you will never
catch me,
I am you without
light,
Or life,
