My Shadow Poem by Christy Marie Lucero

I stand alone one night
Wishing someone would hug me tight
But nobody came to warm me
My heart felt cold, can't you see?

I'm craving for your presence
I want to feel your nearness
Cause I need someone to talk to
I feel so empty and I want you so

I searched for you, but you weren't there
I was wishing you would come
I searched for you, but there was nobody
Only my shadow was my company

You never came
Only me was there
My shadow never leave me
She follows my way and cry with me
No one was there except me

Only my shadow comforts me
She stays with me and never go away
I stare back and saw her standing next to me
But in my heart, you'll remain as the shadow of me.
