My shadow inanimate object that since
Birth an un-attractable Siamese twin.
Some times smaller, longer, fatter, thinner
Than what I was but always a part of me.

Then the light came, like ball lightning.
Never harmed a hair on corporal flesh.
But shades that had been surrogated
Since a time of birth now dwindling fast.

With each one that evaporated from a
Puddle of mimicking thought a sleep
Did educe on each that lost that partner
Of onyx depth that never left a side.

It wasn't as others thought a  light of
questionable guidance It feed on our
Opposite and in subtle collapse feed
On our weakened state now slumbering.

We were sleeping giants that wilted
Like a flower our petals ever dwindling
Till the only shadow that graced us was
That of  a silent dormant corpse.

Graves were dark and now was our moment
Even though we were covered in blissful
Light, we were still. Our other half's harvested
Our companion from birth now faded apart.
