Shadow

Location

Tell me shadow, do you feel?

Are you fake or are you real?

Do you cry or feel my pain?

Do you even know my name?

Are you my twin or another life?

Does the darkness cause you strife?

Do you want to be my friend?

Wil you follow me to the end?

Do you lie, do you cheat?

Can you freeze or feel the heat?

Do you think like people do?

Can you show me something new?

Are you allied with the sun?

Is your work here ever done?

Do even have a job?

Or are you slacking slob?

Am I you, or are you me?

Can you hear and can can you see?

Do you dare to roll the dice?

Are you mean or are you nice?

Are you different or normal there?

Just how easily do you scare?

Do you even count on time?

Can you sing or even rhyme?

I am lost, how about you?

This is something I know that's true.

Many questions I ask you now,

but I'll leave you with a bow.

I suppose you are a lasting friend,

a gift that Heaven had to send.

From the cradle to the grave,

no more questions, our minds , we'll save.
