I am the darkness which will always remain who follows your footsteps and whispers your name I linger behind you, a reminder, a refrain who sings you sweet nothings and plays all your      games I move with your gestures and mirror your soul I am your grey side, the blackness, the coal I live without substance and burn without fire I am your truth, your mimic and liar I chase without running, I follow your lead I'm always behind you, I'm the dark side you bleed I'm not going to leave you, you're mine 'til you die I'm your nothing, your everything, a flicker, a sigh so run if you will, but I'll always be near I'll follow you always your echo, your darkness the shadow, your fear ©1998 Amy Julia Vallis Please send comments on this work to Amy Julia Vallis Back To Poetry This page hosted by Geocities
