shadow

no one's here in this room

except me and my shadow.

no one's here to take away my fears.

no one.

no one's here to show me that somebody cares

except my shadow.



sometime I feel

like

I'm my only friend.

sometime I feel

like

no one wants to listen.

everyone is no one

except my shadow,

chasing after me.



no one is here in this cold,

greedy world

except me and my shadow.

I'm alone.

thanks to you

I'm all

alone.

my shadow still accepts me,

unlike you.

(my shadow still loves me.)

(only my shadow loves me.)





my only friend seems to be my

Shadow.

except my shadow,
chasing after me.

Again, you make that personification sound perfect. Every poem that you use it in rolls off of the tongue just right.
It just works. And the concept works, too. Everything works. If it were a business, you'd be making millions.
