Shadow

I am a shadow,
a shadow of the night,
hiding in darkness,
away from the light.

Forged by life's icy hand,
resisting it's every command.
Born of a broken heart,
hiding in the shadows,
comfort in the dark.

Frightened and alone,
with no one to talk,
chilled to the bone,
in the dark I walk.

Alone I walk,
in the cold night air,
with the darkness,
everything I share.

Every night it's always there,
never hurting,
somehow it cares.

Me it understands where others do not try,
no longer do I ask why,
all I do is cry.

I am a shadow,
a shadow of the night,
no longer do I fight,
this is my plight.
