Little girl I was,
All of nine
Playing with my pals,
While doing mime.
Walking back from the park,
I spotted a demon
With a grimly gaze
Beneath the fog, it stood stark.
Fear crept in
Of the unknown form,
Was it a loyal kin
Or a vicious assassin?
On bright, shiny days
And gloomy nights
The creepy humanoid
Chased me even in dim light.
A friendly game of peek-a-boo,
Hide and seek may it be,
It gave me away
In a minute or two!
Of my mischiefs
It would always tattle,
To get it away
Was a constant battle.
Pestered I was
With my ego alter,
Until one day
Showed the fun side of her.
A graceful swan,
A hooting owl
Innocent games
With some tricks foul.
Together as a team
We fool around,
Creating trouble
While making memories abound.
'Was there with me
In times of tide,
It is you dear,
In whom now I confide.
The black coat it wears,
I clutch tight
Don't leave me alone
There's no one in sight.
For its eternal presence
I no longer whine,
Coz in it, I've found
A friend benign.
