Intermission (The Shadow On My Shoulder)

This is just a quick "Intermission" blog between "The Book". This German beer makes me feel more creative than ever!

The Shadow On My Shoulder

I give it looks, but it's never seen.
Alike the whisper in my ear when I awake, the thoughts and remembrance of the past cascade over me like a droning nuisance. I'm sure it's just life at work, although that doesn't satisfy me. Not today. Not tomorrow.

I give it the time of day, but it never cares.
Alike the drunk uncle that the parents warn you about, the thoughts are sneaky. Am I apart, or altogether? Was I there when I decided to live the path I venture, or just apart of the board? It's not that I regret a thing, it's just that.......

I give it the shadows of my mind, but it only wants my shoulder.
Alike the time yet to come, the thoughts don't form on their own. I wish too much for nothings and damn away even more that that I can fathom. A spiral of misdirected intentions.

I give it all to the shadow on my shoulder, for I wonder why it follows me so closely.
