I am here, connected to you
Hiding in the corner
Growing darker as the light grows stronger
Formed shape, cajoined to you
I follow you in the street or lane
Looming dark in mirrored form, defined
Ever present, twinned by shape

Creeping on the floor or wall, a mirror of your soul
Ever here, your silent brother 
Shaped in your darkest desires
My friend, your friend, a soundless muse
The reverse of your self presence
And yet you know my every move
For I am constant ever present

I wait until you lie or sleep
Dread fingers, probe your thoughts
Whisper in your ear these dark sadistic taunts.
I tempt, in vivid wild frays
Secrets you can not hide
Yet I'm never seen in starless night time skies
For I am, your soulless shadow, where nocturnal confidants abide.
