Shadow 
Of 
No One
...
I am your shadow,
Without you there is no me..
Be tied to your feet..
Never want to be free..
With the light and you 
A shadow can survive
But without you a shadow
Will die in the bright light
How can a shadow I stay,
Without her body..?
And how can I survive..
Now that you are not for me..?
Thin and timid as the shadow..
Hiding at the back of the light 
Grief and sorrow..
The whispering of the low tide..
I am now lonely, so free..
And yet, nowhere to go!!
Without the bright loving body..
How can I the shadow show..?
Roaming in the darkness..
In the empty sky
No moon for the shadow..
Not even the starshine..
I am shadow of no one..
Oh where can I go
I, without you
Am only a thin and faded shadow!!
