Where Shadows Met

These shadows have shadows
follow lurking, mirrored movements
trailing behind to remind of their darkness too
Creeping up,  not sure we're feeling this
guilt consumed,  left feelingless

My shadow has a shadow,
where it never had before
They linger touching lightly, discreet
I followed shadows trail across the floor
To where trail ended up at your feet


You and I watch those shadows intertwine
Judging yours never, and you never mine
Consoling my wounded counterpart
til the grief we've grieved is torn apart
Balanced out by our volitile natures
 singley,destructive and dying
bonded, constructive and thriving
Sweetly symbiotic souls are we
