The Shadow of a Friend

You told me death was near
But I did not expect this
To lose you was hard
But to still walk around mindless

I see your form walking towards me
But it is the ghost in your shadow I seek
Lost and confused you wander
Followed by the one so meek

Confused
Different
Lost and
Deranged

I run from you
You chase your friend
I hate the beast
You are in the end

I am lost in the shadows
Seeing only what was before
I can not see the change
In these memories forever more
