shadow

do you know me by now?

hanging back in the shadows
still, you are center stage for me
haunting my thoughts with your engaging soul

you bring the blue out of me
touching me with your silence deeper than anyone
caressing the vow you know it will always be

I seek your loneliness
to reach my need
deep darkness implores me
in the recesses of doubt it's you
I am in your company every day

growing in passion
reaching your fathoms
seducing another moment like this one
it is in our bitter regrets we become closer

an unrequited love
with enough depth to touch eternity
you bring me to tears
then fade away
