Shade and Shadows

I always wanted to be your shade
While hiding in your shadow
Shade cools down and shields your eyes
As you lay on the beach
But I dwell in your shadow
Your love just out of reach
Shade it helps your garden grow
And helps your flowers bloom
Shadows lurk in the dark
Sneaking from room to room
Shade you keep in your heart
So cozy and just right
Shadows bring anxiety
Shadows bring fear & fright
I wanted to be your shade,
Every moment of my life
But I’m forced to lurk in the shadows
Hiding just out of sight…
