Shadow

Deep inside,
A shadow lurks,
Waiting,
Or watching,
Or just passing time.
Maybe it's lost,
Forgotten,
Confused,
Moving slowly across the walls.
Getting bigger,
Smaller,
Fading with time.
A bulb slowly burning,
Washing away,
Still,
Frozen,
Frightened to move.
Or maybe just tired,
So soft,
Delicate,
A flame to be lit.
