You sit beside me,
A wisp, a ghost of memory,
A permanent friend of a kind,
Almost solid, yet not quite,
You're here, but you are not,
I struggle to reconcile,
Who I am, and who I am with you,
A tender balance of sorts,
I want you around, yet I don't,
Will it be easier, to sort myself?
To find clarity, to help us both?
