RedRavenPoems

A companion, made of shadows

A friend born from the dark.

You hold my secrets in your heart

Shed silent tears at the despair I’ve wrought.

You counseled me against foolish choice

My triumph caused you to rejoice

But in the end our ways must part

My other half, the shadow heart.

You held me when I wept

Protected while I slept

Never treated me as if I was a pet

But now we part.

Our paths diverge like all friends do

Sad affairs but fully true

My mind sinks, my heart turns blue

At a world without you.

Goodbye and good luck with your life

I hope all works out just right.

Perhaps we shall not stay apart

My dear friend, my shadow heart.
