In response to The Daily Post’s Daily Prompt:  Shadow

Shadow-Life
©May 6th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram

For every place I care to go
She likes to elsewhere,
For only she and I can ever know –
And who’s to say we care?

For every word I choose to say,
She thinks another word,
And just like me, she tends to stay
In lands of the unheard.

For every song I love to hum,
She sings another song
The echoes reach and bring me some
Regret where I belong.

And thus they flow, go on and on,
Our shadow-lines of time.
It breaks and flows, until it’s gone,
This life that’s hers and mine.
