My shadow friends

I see them clearly, though they are not there,

My dear shadow friends

Who are always there.

They bend over my shoulder,

Some smirking, other watching,

Reminding me they are there,

Showing they are beside me,

Taunting with my mind,

Testing my soul.

I turn my head quickly,

Oh, how often I do this,

Hoping to catch a glimpse

Of someone who is not there,

Only to see they moved to the other side,

From left to right and right to left,

Always eluding, always there.

Come, dear shadow friend,

The night is young and so are we,

There’s lots of time to play,

To have fun with this game of ours,

Our unique hide and seek,

You will hide and I will seek

And rest assure, for I will never find you.

Or will I? …
