Your Shadow Is Here To Trust

Shadow


Thought of the world made me sad...
I felt damped within, I shivered a little
I felt something like stone lodged within my heart
Whom should I relay to
Who should I trust just for once, on this thought my
Heart nearly stopped pounding
My head expanded like   balloon

I would rather trust no one, I decided
A tap on my back made me notice
A voice within me,

I AM HERE FOR YOU ALONE
WE THINK OF THINGS TOGETHER
YOU SHARED YOUR OPENED WORDS WITH ME FIRST
YOU SHARE SECRET ONLY WITH ME
WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY, I AM HAPPY
WHEN YOU ARE SAD, I AM SAD
YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT ME NOR I CAN, YOU ARE ME,
I AM YOU, WE ALTOGETHER MAKE A WHOLE
YOUR SHADOW IS HERE TO TRUST, I HAVE ACCOUNT OF YOUR LIFE.

Well, I liked this the first time I've read this and I say it again, this is good! A pity you didn't make it to Edwin Hofert's contest. Kim
