Shadow In the Dark

Shadow in the Dark
I see you staring at me,
But who are you?
What do you want?
All you do is stand there and watch me,
Are you my guardian angel?

You walk closer to me and you still don’t say anything,
What is it? 
The cat got your tongue,
Why you watching me?
Do you know me from somewhere?

I’m too afraid to come to you,
So I’m asking you from a distance,
I notice you look taller than me,
Then I turn another way we are the same height,
Just figuring out you could be me,
You are my shadow in the dark.
