Shadow In the Sun
Ur an extension of myself, a literal blister,
It’s mad sometimes how much I’ve missed ya
You’ve walked in my footsteps for almost your whole life
Taught you how to be kinky as ever and still a great wife
I’ve taught u what uve got and how to use it
And also what you’ve not and how to abuse it
Your my skin Dee one where no concealer is required
A better version of myself younger and less tired
I’m a practice run, learning all the lessons so u don’t have to
But it goes both ways I no u got my back too
My world was empty when u was in prison
Like the most important part of my soul was missing
I’m your mother your sister best friend and dad
You’re my sunshine in the rain my smile when I’m sad
You hold the key that unlocks my insanity
And I tighten the chains that contains ur jealousy
I soften ur edges with a bit of humanity
There’s not a person in the world with our mentality!
The other half of me emotionally and spiritually
Your words are in my mind and I speak them literally
Your thoughts are in my head before u have them
So I’m already saying them by the time U say them
You’re the laughter in my belly the warmth in my heart
You’re the sparkle in my silly the treacle in my tart
You have enough outer confidence to serve the both of us
You’re loud and ur out there, I like less fuss
But the inner confidence I got us both covered
Enlightening ur soul when it was u that I mothered
I kept u under my wing until u were strong and brave
I tried to always make sure no one locked ur cage
An extension of me but completely ur own person
As I give u advice on the lessons I’ve been learning
I would go through anything to stop u going through it
And yes I would do anything if it meant u didn’t do it!
You still make mistakes and I learn from these too
When my world falls apart you’re the first I turn to
You don’t always make it better but u make it funny
You don’t always stop the rain but u make it sunny
You’re my lighting, my thunder but also my rainbow
When life’s frightening, we’re braver cos where u go i go
