My Companion

Walking in the yellow woods of daylight,
I watch my friend following me, sometimes
in the front, in the back and few times next to me
We walk with same pace; we laugh and share jokes,
We even sleep together and wake up to the daylight.

As dusk nears the horizon, my friend disappears into dark,
leaving me alone to face the evil, I look around for a companion
Where did my friend go, is he in good hands?
I wonder he might be inside me during the dark,
taking shelter and being protected to reappear in the radiance

My eyes glance through the lonely streets of broken dreams
I walk alone in the dark, hoping to see the light,
and to see my friend walking along with me,
as we walk, hand in hand, step by step, I realize
my friend, friend of my dreams, is the "shadow" (man)
