Uniquely Mine

A shadowed twin
A whispering echo beneath my skin

In silent moments you softly creep
Disturbing the solace of my sleep

A phantom presence unseen yet near
Feeding doubt and nurturing fear

Through daylight hours you cloud my sight
Turning clear skies into an endless night

An inconspicuous burden heavy to bear
An unseen tether always there

Guiding my thoughts down dark pathways
Where comfort is fleeting and sanity strays

No refuge found or safe retreat
From the ceaseless sound of your beat

In crowded rooms I'm still alone
Haunted by my phantom clone

Attempts to flee are all in vain
You’re always residing in my brain

A lifelong bond I can't bend
My hidden foe and closest friend
