i am SHADOW

consumed by ghostly darkness
eaten like foggy mist
hidden behind a veil of invisibility

the girl beside her takes her soul
and throws her into a blackened hole
she is a prisoner at war with herself

the girl beside her is her best friend
a sworn enemy
a trusted ally

behind her back the soldier bites
stabs her in the back with a bloody-soaked dagger
piercing her heart and soul

she's left in the dark
crying in her hands
with crimson flowing through her gown
