Always Near

Following in the dark, always watching, and always close.

It’s never far behind my side, or far from reach.

It stays by my side, even when I don’t want it there, I can never leave it.

It follows me wherever I go and it does not leave.

It is the dark side of me that I can’t escape from, the never ending gloom to my light.

It wants to devour me.

To become one.

Not two separate beings.

I want it to leave me, but I’m too afraid to tell it to.

My shadow is a part of me after all.
