Daylight's Darkness
We share the same shadows
Though we never have met
Watching love pass our windows
But that's not what we get
Someone almost looked in
So I pulled down the shades
I wonder what might have been
But the thought quickly fades
There was a look in your eyes
Erased by a whisper of fear
We'll never know if it lies
Pretending we cannot hear
Living parallel lives
Close in so many ways
Because we want without drive
We are so far away
Right under our noses
On the very same street
Right under our noses
Is a nice place to meet
Though we never have met
Watching love pass our windows
But that's not what we get
Someone almost looked in
So I pulled down the shades
I wonder what might have been
But the thought quickly fades
There was a look in your eyes
Erased by a whisper of fear
We'll never know if it lies
Pretending we cannot hear
Living parallel lives
Close in so many ways
Because we want without drive
We are so far away
Right under our noses
On the very same street
Right under our noses
Is a nice place to meet

A stanza that's relatable. Poetryman:) I always enjoy your writes no matter how dark they seem sometimes.

I really enjoyed this poem. It was very well articulated, and I liked how it flowed.
I particularly liked this stanza:
"Someone almost looked in
So I pulled down the shades
I wonder what might have been
But the thought quickly fades"
I relate to the concept of "pulling the shades" on someone when they get too close, in fear of what they may find. However, I still wonder what could have been if I just let the interaction happen.
Very well written, thank you for sharing!
