In Shadows



You give me all you have to give
no greater friendship ever lived
not much in common we don’t share
in shadows, you are always there

 That I can always count on you
speaks volumes of a love that’s true
a love that does not hesitate
in shadows, doubt holds no weight

I know your feelings are sincere
but parameters were always clear
with mine, I lost the upper hand
in shadows, I know where I stand

I waver between black and white
seeking greys where desire is right
coveting words you’ll never say
in shadows, my dreams lead the way

I know your love does not match mine
it’s a truth that I can’t reassign
and while you’ll never change your view
in shadows, my heart waits for you.

    Beautiful, this poem, as it balances subtle, whimsical moments with the impending perils of running an obstacle course whole wearing a loose blindfold...

      That would be a very short course for me, Myke, as I would surely trip up in a matter of moments. And I never was very good at balancing ;)

      Hey, you wrote a poem, not about the moon. Now I feel I should write one with la luna implications. :)

      lol! How often do I not pome about the m00n? I think the occasion definitely warrants you writing one about her now ;)

    Where I said "whole" I meant "while." Honest.

      I'm not sure if wearing my heart on my sleeve is a blessing or a curse, but it is what it is. Thanks, C - I always value your input <3

      Thanks, Marvin! I figured you'd be getting sick of my posts by now, I kind over overdid it this week ;)

      Thanks, Tyler. This song just kills me, and I've wanted to write to it for a long time.
