I stare at my shadow
As it stands in complete stillness
Is it really me or someone else being reflected
A Ghost of my past
A figure from my other life
I wonder why is it still
Unwavering yet scared
Alone and lonely
Like a child who craves a hug
The feel of a caring touch
It stares back at me
Like it awaits a response
To say it’s ok
The pain is gone
The storm has passed
But has left a calm
As I see the shining stars
Darkness peeks through
But only to suggest peek a boo
This time I missed you!
