Broken Shadow

My broken shadow,
Follows me around,
Soft like whispering willows,
Humming an eerie sound.
Yet it shows no flaw,
Despite the times I fell down.
As my broken shadow could not carry me,
It came tumbling to the ground.
With me it collapsed helplessly,
My broken shadow please forgive me.

My broken shadow,
witnessed all of days,
And when there was no sun to shine below,
My broken shadow drowns in the rain with my sorrow,
Yet my shadow hasn't abandoned me or disappeared,
Despite my uncontrollable shedding of tears.
As the drops fell to the floor,
My broken shadow is not whole anymore...
