"Her shadow must live without dreams"
For some reason, this line made me very sad. I'd never thought of it that way, that shadows couldn't dream. That they're bound to follow you around forever, but never get to experience anything for themselves. I'm probably being irrational.

No, you got it just fine...

Wow i really like this poem and understand it so well i love the ending 'Now, I understand exactly why All lovers are drawn into the night.' :) very well written and choice of words xx
