Shadows
love you as their leader
follow you til death
haunt you with their symmetry
chill your icy neck
unreliable and deceiving
theyll change what others see
bound to you forever
choose to not be free
few noticeable when daylight
millions when night abounds
whisper again until youre deaf
yet you only hear the sound
remind you of your lost sins
leave you to watch your back
praise you as they follow
but your shadows will attack.
