When you are in the light
He is there
Crawling upon your feet
No matter how much you dance, jump or sway
You are cursed
To be attached
To this lifeless shadow
Mimicking, and Following
Always one step behind
When you are there in the spotlight
He is there with you
Dancing and singing with you
A performance of two
But the audience is only enthralled by you
He does not care
For he only wants
to dance with you
He does not care
of who watching
He only wants a parlay with you
But when rooms turn dim
You are lost in the dark
No matter how much you think you are alone
Don't be afraid
Your shadow is still there with you
Even when your eyes are Blinded by the lack of light
He is there
Underneath and beside you
Still performing with you
He is not that of a fair weather friend
For he does not leave you
Alone in the rain
He reminds you to not burn too bright
For shadows can burn as well!
And when you doubt your shadow friend
There is only one desire you need to sate
To fulfill the purpose of his faith
To be with you until the end
