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
