Shadow

Hello.  Hi.

I said with a smile

If I should blink my eye

Are You here for a while?

 

Then long before

Like Yesterday

I closed the door

And hoped You’d go away

 

How did You get inside

Without knocking or bell?

Dare me ro run and hide

Just don’t drag me to Hell

 

Open the door for me

Go ahead, draw the shades

Make it easy for me to see

The skinny, shiny razor blades

 

I know You have a face

Though You don’t look at me

I wish You’d keep your place

Go, and Just let me be

 

Do I hear my own voice

or are You mocking me?

Is there ever a choice

to lose my sanity?

 

On the streets tomorrow

I may try to make a new friend

Someone who doesn’t like sorrow

And won’t bring my life to an end

 

And if I do,

Please don’t say, “Hi.”

There’s no more room for two

to help me live or die
