[hometext] => I like shadows, so I decided to write a poem as if I were one. I think of shadows as sad things, because they try so hard to be real, although they never will be.
[bodytext] => Shadows I walk with you, a mimic of yourself. Never really real, but real enough to exist. When you move, I go along, following you unwaveringly. When you run, I run with you, right there no matter how hard you try to lose me. You bleed… And I falter. For when you smile, I cannot. When you laugh, I can make no sound at all. But I exist, when circumstance allows. But never as bright. Never as real. Just an image to be lost with the setting of the sun.
