It trails behind you waiting
For you to turn your back?
For you to mess up or fail?
No. It waits to steal you away
When all is lost it will take you
And destroy your soul.
The one thing it hungers for
Is you then once gone always gone
Don't turn your back on your shadow
For even a second it'll turn on you
Then you shall become its shadow
Doomed to trail behind watching it
Cursed to watch what could have been yours
Now it rejects you
Never giving a second glance to you
Just like how you treated your own shadow.
