Shadow Man

When it’s night and your lonely

move you will see me do,

in a black cape so lovely,

with a dark top hat too.

Your eyes you won’t believe,

as I slip slyly by.

You cannot conceive

of the tasks I try.

You can see me when you first awake,

a quick glance as I pass.

You’ll say, “What’s that for goodness sake,”

as out the corner of your eye me you grasp

I am so dark.

An enigma I am.

But you know in your heart,

I am one of the damned.

I am a bad omen,

If you see me.

In the background I am roamin’.

A thing that just can’t be.
