Shadows

Shadows

Stay away from the shadows 
                                        you know who I mean 
                            Apparently
   they go by many
                      different names… 
   it seems 
like buddy, chum 
Or even friend… 
but in the end
                     They are not what they seem 
for shadows love
the day...
 the bright light… 
                         The sunny side…
                                       they’re always around 
when everything is up 
And cheery                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
and without frown
                                                    Yes
You know who the shadows are
       They invade your space
With a frozen smile 
Forged…
      on their face
                    Pledging to always be there 
              Anytime
or Any place
                                       But in the end
                             Its always the same
                                                     When that tempest
Hurricane or emergency
                                        Comes
The shadows are gone
                  Leaving you
                          Alone, emptied
                                      disillusioned and done
