Untitled

I search for you, I'm scared of you, of what you are, of who you are. I know you so well that I don't know you at all. So close that I can't see you, can't feel you. But still I look for what's inside. Always elusive, your shadow flickers on every turning. My sole purpose, to find you (not knowing how or why). Perilously I edge, pensively along the ledge. What am I afraid of? What is there to lose? You're like a beacon, you call to me from within me. Your every signal is an insight to my instinct. I don't know why. Will you reward or reprimand me? Or are these obstacles a vicious sense of humour?
