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
