Poem: Shadows

Deep within the recesses of the night
Just around the corner
I can see you run away
Trying to blend into the shadows
Trying to catch me off guard

Daring me to give chase
I will not fall, for
Your game is old and tiresome
Run for the shadows
Two can play this game

I can blend just as well
Become the pure essence of shadow
Hide but yet always be seen
Can you see me?
Maybe, maybe not

The shadows wrap around
Us as we prepare for the
Struggle at hand
Cloaking our every move
Covering our very steps

We lock onto each other
Holding on for dear life
Neither will let go
Both of us willing to die
For what we are

One of us will fall
Prey to the other
Within the shadows
