Shadow

I ran away I had to flee Someone's running after me He runs as fast as I can go Yet does not catch me when I slow When I started He was small Now He's grown so very tall Should I face Him, should I hide Close my eyes His sight denied I do not know which way to go Reluctantly I turn to home There He is right at my side No fiend but friend I can confide A comfort I have never known Together we can stand alone.
