Dark Shadow

My shadow follows me and I don't mind. Hiding within the comfort of my existence, it knows my every move.
Haunting me with its dark presence, but still a presence that I dare not ignore.
I find comfort in my shadow because it is a reflection of who I am.
It stretches with every inch I step. It glides with every mile I stride.
It's only those times when my life is dark that my shadow disappears and seems to be lost. Again, it doesn't matter because I know I will never be alone because my shadow returns when the darkness has gone.
