Pale Companion

Who walks beside me now so hollow?
For I cannot see as if blind...
Who is lying in this ground so shallow?
Surely not someone of my kind...

My pale companion strays beside
He is but a pale shadow of a dead man
Awaken... Even though he died...
Awake to guide me through this foreign land

We walked... Seem to me endlessly
He took me to the sea... In which he died
He runs into the waves recklessly
In the sea of bitter tears... Tears I cried...

Now I know... Shadows can sink...
The very minute he reached the water
He disappeared within an eye blink
He was by waves gently slaughtered...

I wander if same would happen to me?
