Mon Ombre
Clara Luciani
My Shadow
My tragedy is my shadow
A shadow, a veiled giant
That climbs and grows along my body
Like wicked ivy, like a curse
My tragedy is my shadow
It's the devil who sewed it to my feet
My tragedy is my shadow
Was it the devil the day I was born?
My tragedy is my shadow
A shadow as deep as the night
That growls and purrs
When I give it my fear of being alone
My fear of failing
My tragedy is my shadow
It's the devil who sewed it to my feet
My tragedy is my shadow
Was it the devil the day I was born?
My tragedy is my shadow
A spectacular, sprawling shadow
That spits its thick, rancid ink
On what remained of my hopes
My tragedy is my shadow
It's the devil who sewed it to my feet
My tragedy is my shadow
Was it the devil the day I was born?
My tragedy
It's my shadow
My tragedy is my shadow
