My Shadow

by

I am eating cherries as
I walk past the mirror,
Catching my gaze I realize

there is a shadow standing behind me,

it is the shadow of who I used to be

and who I have yet to become
She is smiling at me softly,

a small hint of evil and despair

underneath her velvet eyes,

which stare at me,

urging me to move on with my life.

I am sitting at my desk when

I notice my shadow hovering

next to me
She is watching me as I go about

my day

and she is glaring at me with cold eyes
Is she telling to stay put or

wander on,

continue my path?
It seems she knows more than I.

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Linger
