Shadow

My shadow
Has some serious doubts
About whether
It’s worth coming everywhere about,
About whether
I’m good company,
About whether
Of me, she can be free.
She asked me twice,
Am I free to go?
I said do as you please,
I don’t know.
It sure as hell
Broke my heart
But what can I say
When we’re torn apart.
So I bid her farewell
Into a world of her own
Where there’s abundance
And her identity is born.
