Soul Shadow

The outlines of my being are vague.
I struggle to exist, to gulp the air.  
To feel is an illusion.  The pain hoped for
Is an evident demonstration of realities,
that are  not beheld.
  
I am but a shadow of your reality.
A  nebulous existence I suffered.
I disappeared in the shadows
The light emanating from your passion
defined  my borders that I dare not cross.

Something that will never be has dominated me.
I crave the flutter of your touch,
The whisper your breath...
To hope for your kiss, to long for your touch.
The warmth of your body pressing close to me.

Speaking eye-to-eye, I melt into you.
It would rend me in two if I would sample it.
I struggle on, a shadow.
With form but without substance.
I am nothing in the absence of your light.
