My Shadow

My shadow visits me during the day        
This beautiful angel my silhouette portrays        
He follows me around all day long        
Making sure I'm good and do no wrong        
He's a great listener when I speak        
I confide in him, secrets he keeps        
He knows me well and mimics my actions        
Comforting my mind he's a great distraction          
Come mid day we share the same lunch        
He spars with me when life throws a punch        
He's watching me so I stay out of trouble        
Protecting my innocence when I struggle        
Battling the thoughts that are in my head        
His darkness fills me with light instead        
My shadow's always there, my best friend        
But he disappears when the night begins        
         
That's when he becomes the devil        
My blackened thoughts now unleveled        
My shadow can't save my next victim      
He's not around so I can trick him    
The darkness of night hides my intentions        
Avoiding my shadows intervention        
Saving me from what I'm about to do        
My excuses he would easily see through        
So now I'm lost in my minds nightmare        
Another blood stained street of haunting terror        
I drink, I rob, I rape, I kill        
Murdering working girls is my thrill        
Every night I search for this fun        
Then dismember them one by one        
Creating new stories that I can share        
When daylight comes and my shadow's there
