SHADOW

SHADOW

 

(Wh Y are yOU AFRAID  of me?)

never will the human call me by
my name,
never will they remember.
how does it feel to be forgotten?

 

(Are YOU AfrAid of the Dark?)

dark light shines
through the windows,
sending patches of sun

away.

 

                                    (Would yOU miss me if I wERE gone?)

nervous shivers and
darting glances,
hurried whispers;

telltale tapping.

 

                                   

                                    (Shadow is NOT my name…..)

do not
anger those that
you are afraid of
they never learn…

 

(ShADOw will  teach you to fear…)
