Shadow Person Quotes

“The Shadow Waltz by Stewart Stafford

She lays with me by night,
Hewn from dark solitude,
Without malice aforethought.

Creaking springs as she crawls to me,
In a frantic state,
Babbling desperately about her pain.

Nails caress my abdomen and chest,
Strange warmth emanates from her,
Then she rises.

And is gone,
Melting with the corner darkness again,
Watching my slumber from the shadows.
