There’s a shadow there
At the bottom of my head
It lingers, mocking me
Doesn’t follow my every move
Dances instead at its own will
I stare it down
Does it stare back?
Or does it live at its own beat
Do I perceive everything wrong
No
Friendly shadows don’t exist
I followed you
You closed your fist and
I closed mine
You jumped in front of trains
and I followed
Not for love
Not free will
But it was when that light
Infinite and bright
Shined on me
That every shadow
Scattered away
Don’t ask me if I care.
