My Shadow -edited

Lovely form. I agree that it lacks in variation, but in terms of substance I don't think you need to add any more meat; it's already very good as a cheerful little song. Just add a bit more... spice. Maybe discuss what things you'd like to do with the shadow? Or what things of the shadow you'd like to change? I dunno.

For by myself his shape is cast
and at my feet he hovers round,
so often prostrate on the ground,
that space beside to cover.

I think to stand out in the sun
and make another me is fun!This line feels rather awkward, mainly because of the "is fun".
I’ll make him male, I’ll make him sweet,I suggest separating this line from the latter two with a period/exclamation point, just to make it feel more statement-y.
I shall hover round his feet
and he shall have no other!

Mimicking mirror he shall be,
all the while he clings to me,
for by his form I am revealed,
and in myself he is concealed;
how could I want another?

Persistent consequence of light
pray that you and I not fight,Perhaps an end to the sentence would be better here? That'd make it flow nicer, I suppose
but dwell in synchronicity
and dualistic harmonyThis is redundant.
and I shall be your lover.
