him.

He's followed me my whole life He watching me sleep at night. He says he's my guardian angel But he's so dark and his wings have rough angles. He only comes at night And he shows right up when I'm in a fright. My dreams told me he's bad But then again he looks so very sad. I offered to be his friend And though he has no face I swear i saw him grin. Now he scares me and won't go away. I should have listened to the Lord. This demon is feeding on my breath Becoming strong. Once he changed my shadow And I ran all the way home. Scared he would come inside If no one was there. I locked the doors and ran. My breath was heavy and my body was tired. When I awoke I was no longer home I was in his house. As I look around I see him in my body Carrying it around. He took my soul And I took his place. Now I'm powerless But am getting brave.I'll have a new me soon Till then look out your window You'll see the shadow man.
