Every time I take a step
My shadow follows suit
Stalking every moment
Repeating everything I do
Listening to every word I utter
Silent are his echos
This my only brother
Secrets the only thing he knows

Darkness shrouds the time
When I know what was yours
And what was mine
How many times I have tried
To rid the best of suns
And always be denied

Why is he forgiven
And I am always blamed
For the actions he’s taken
Because he shares my name
How is he protected
And I’m always jailed
Is he not selected
When he walks my trail

He remains unseen at night
But walks behind me still
Waiting for the first of light
Be my shadow he might as well
My shadow is the darkest beast
Knows each and every thing
Rewarded for his deeds
And I am left to sit and think

My ambitions are soiled
All because my shadow
Is there and always loyal
You will stay on my path
To hear my last sentence
Before my untimely death
