Shadow

My dearest and hated shadow
Your plain to see
Yet vital to me
Your face resembles mine
Yet you are not I
Who are you
I knew
But never really did
Not who I thought
I saw you today
I will see you tomorrow
There for everything
Yet not there at all
I think of you often
I could think of you not at all
Where are you
I will already know
You are but a shadow
I love you
But shall hate you
Are you friend or foe
My dearest and hated shadow.
