The shadows in my room are my companions
confidants that know my darkest thoughts
Never have they broken or abandoned
if I go down, together, we get caught
*
They linger near my bed to stay connected
where I go, they are sure to follow too
The only ones I know who won't reject me
faithfully they endure - what I go through
*
In sun or shade they wait to give me counsel
my desires are their only goal
Tracing my demands in colored pencil
connecting me until I am made whole
*
As the sun goes down,
a light keeps them here with me
No matter if I smile or if I frown
They come willingly, seeing just what I see
*
Dark and lovely shadows on the ground
