(my first lame attempt at poetry)
I chose my shadow as my partner
My lone comrade , my friendly harbor
Who walked by me, in pain and sorrow
Knows my previous, today and morrow
Stood by me, against the world
Even with me wrong,
It believed my word
Consoled me in my despair
“you aint alone, oh you hear?”
It laughed with me
But not coyly
And took my pain
Unlike people humane
Who could feign if they like
and behind your back strike
that aint friend, that’s a foe
and the world’s like that
for all I know.
The belief fortifies
And grows the despise
Towards humans
And grows the affection
Towards my solitude
Then came the night
All got of sight
I searched for my harbor
My shadow, my partner
There was none
It was also gone
I consoled my heart
That we were only the night apart
Everyone needs time alone
Only so my shadow had gone
But don’t people need time too?
Even they need space, yes they do!
And it struck me out of the blue
It wasn’t them,
It was me wanting thinking anew
As I realize this
I look around
Loneliness dies
And my first friend
Wasn’t far away
Fare thee well my solitude
i am better with my friends now I say..
