It is my shadow
It walks with me, one step behind me.
Always there waiting for me to fall into its strong arms,
forever in darkness.
A shadow at the edge of my vision,
next to me at night when I am most alone.
It waits with hopeful eyes and longs for me to give in to it.
A low voice biding me to come follow it, to rest, to let it win.
It's words bring pain to my heart…
telling me of my life's mistakes…
of those who use to love me but
left me to fight alone in battles that I can not win on my own.
Telling me of a life that I will live alone
with no one but it by my side…
Telling me of the deaths of those I still have left…
It is my shadow and it walks one step behind me.
Death it is my Shadow.
