How I wish the shadow would go
A companion through sun and rain.
Yet dark and brooding; silently howling
Like a constant screeching sound, jarring.

How I wish it would tear apart
Chart its own destiny, it's own path.
Perhaps meet its new master someday
How I wish the shadow just goes away.

When it goes, the days shall be lonely.
The sound gone; silence will explode.
The explosion might kill; so be it.
For the shadow will kill anyway.
