Not my shadow
January 15, 2014
A shadow cast
It’s not mine though
Disfigured
Broken
Narrowed
“Why are you so soulless”? I asked
It moved slightly
And held out its hand
“I have to go”
It shook his head violently
“I am sorry”
A squeak broke from its lips
“Bye,” I said
“No,” the shadow said
The voice was louder
Stronger
Scarier
The shadow ran to me
“No, you are not me”! I exclaimed
It was too late
The shadow grabbed my heart
I struggle to break free
