The Shadow You Knew

Word Count: 109
Line Count: 21

Turn a corner, what to see,
Gray shadow is the key.
Go right, Go left,
Go up, Go down,
I can’t seem to get free.

Shadow, shadow everywhere
Phantom, Phantom, ready scare
Can’t shake it, Can’t break it,
Step out from the snare.

Look to the mirror for a clue,
Gray shadow comes into view.
A ghost of a girl right behind
A ghost of a girl I once knew.

I reach out, touch the reflection –
Gray shadow mirrors the affection.
Good or Bad, unknown to know
Past life, pale complexion.

Change your ways,
Change them now or bid adieu,
Or soon you’ll be the
The shadow you knew.
