My Shadow Speaks to Me

Do you remember me?

Dear You,

This is your shadow speaking

Remember Me?

The one who you use to take comfort in?

The one you said "would never leave"?

 

I was Always there for you

In your darkest moments

I know all your secrets

The ones your too afraid to speak of

 

When no one else was around 

you took comfort in my presence

Knowing you always had a friend

one that knew you inside and out

 

I may not have spoken 

But I always Listened

I loved you for who you were

 

Why did you turn your back on me?

Now I am something you fear.

Is it because you lost your way

Is is because you don't know who you are anymore?

 

Whatever it is I understand

Just know I am Always here

In your darkest moments

And even when you cant see me

just know I am always around the corner 

Here for you no matter what.

This came from a Prompt from a poetry Club that I am in on a different website... The Prompt was: Write in the point of view of your shadow.

[I Am Svetlana]

Shadows are often very comforting. Keeping you safe at night so you aren't walking the dark streets alone. Though they can't speak, they always listen. That's a main part of this that I enjoyed. The thought of being heard and not judged. Maybe shadows are lonely, so they seem out certain people to help make them alive.
