Shadow #1 V2

Shadow

I see the light, but feel the night,
You're not in sight, but not out of mind.
You're there in the quiet, the cracks in the floor,
A hush in my heart, a ghost at the door.

No footsteps follow, but still I know,
You're not in the flesh, but never let go.

You're my shadow — never speaks, never sleeps,
But you're always there in the dark I keep.
You don’t move, yet you’re always near,
More than memory, more than fear.
You're my shadow — behind the light,
A part of me that hides from sight.
You stay when everyone lets me go…
You're my shadow.

The world moves fast, but you remain,
A quiet ache I can’t explain.
You stretch with the sun, curl in the gloom,
You fade in the day, but return in my room.

Not a word, not a touch, not a name to cry,
But you're carved in my silence like the sky.

You're my shadow — never breaks, never bends,
You were enemy once, now more like a friend.
You hold my sorrow, my secrets, my scars,
You walk with me under endless stars.
You're my shadow — a story untold,
A voice that whispers when nights turn cold.
Even when I say I’ve healed, I know…
You're my shadow.

Some say to let go, some say to fight,
But you’re just the part that survived the night.
Not love, not hate, not joy, not pain —
Just what’s left when nothing remains.

You're my shadow — steady and deep,
Watching me fall, watching me keep.
A silent vow in the paths I roam,
A piece of the dark I now call home.
You're my shadow — and maybe that’s fine,
Not lost, not gone — just no longer mine.
But you walk with me wherever I go…
You're my shadow.
