Long Shadow from Invirtue by Aphir

In the dark, he pulled me apart, and you are his long shadow.
If only you could unhook yourself where your dark feet are linked into his solid.

We have lived in the sunshine, but we have both slipped outside its warmth from time to time.
I have made you doubt yourself and you have made me wonder if I only exist to be eclipsed, for you are true and real and free and I am just your shadow.

So won’t you cast me out in the afternoon sun?
The only time I get to stretch my legs is when you run, so run from our shared hurt, run till the evening falls and I disappear once more.

A day will come when I cease to be merely your long shadow.
I’ll unhook my dark feet and follow the road that leads into the sun.
