Shadow Always Follows Me

Why can't you protect me? Why can only I see you? He stood in front of me and didn't speak. He just stretched out his hand and took me into his arms. My shoulders shook, tears and snot dripping from my eyes. He tightened his arms, and I leaned in his arms. Tears blurred my vision, but the moonlight cast a bright light, and I was the only one sitting awkwardly on the floor, as if I was being held in someone's arms.
