Dear Shadow

Dear apparition created from the absence of light

Why is it that you follow me so?

Why do you mock me by tagging along so carelessly?

A pointless question I would presume

You’ve never spoken, not once

But you have listened to my thoughts and my woes

And it would seem, at least I suppose,

Your company is refreshing at times

Though I’ve never seen your face

Not a single glance

I would imagine that it pleases you to be with me

 

Dear faceless reflection of me

What is it about you that seem so familiar?

Is it the way you take my form,

Or is it more?

Is it that you are a part of me?

Is it that you have incorporated upon yourself a fragment of my soul?

If it be so then I hope it makes you whole

Let it be that even in the darkness of night,

Even if I am unable to see you

You’ll never leave my side

 

So it appears I have grown attached to you

You have been my guardian angel

Though I always see you,

And though you have never said a word

You have saved my life,

In more ways than you could possibly know,

And for that, “I THANK YOU.”
