Ah... I was bored today.

[i_purexsorrow_i]

I am the shadow, 
what you are
I become,
a traveler in the night
yet, living only in the passing
of faded light,
which ironically becomes my pain
in the day that brings the sun's burn.
I move with you,
swaying
back and forth
so enraptured in your movement
which feeds me,
leads me into the
colors of you,
I'm enticed
and I yearn to be like you,
to cast off my colorless shroud,
to stand naked in the light of your days
and absorb the prism of every tint
deep and faint,
that will pierce me with the flesh of life,
then I can finally touch you
the way lovers touch,
making you mine,
and dance through all of time
for you,
for you.
I am your shadow gray
and wherever you walk,
lonely

I will always follow.
