My Shadow

My  Shadow

My shadow follows

Me everywhere 

Even in daylight

I can feel it

There

Invisible to the

Naked Eye

I can feel

The presence

Making me cry

I look around

For my shadow's 

' Presence '

to be here

Right beside me

No where can it

Be seen

not here

Where it once

Had been

No shape nor form

A smell from the

Past often 

brings it back

Here to belong

Invisible especially 

In the darkness 

Light shine

cast my shadow

away from blackness

My shadow is mine

To share a spell

Bring much

Comfort 

Too one 

Who is lonely

My shadow 

Is all I have

 got

My shadow do

Not leave 

Emptiness 

There be nothing 

to show

I need you

My shadow

I want you

To know.
