Glancing,
From a far.
Choking on,
My words.
Keeping,
My distance,
Too Nervous to,
Come find you.
I was always,
There,
With you,
But,
Without you.
Ignoring you ignorance.
Patiently,
I waited,
For my reflection,
To become clear,
Next to yours.
Only to be,
Denied my place.
Lingering,
Like a ghost.
Mirroring ,
Only what you wanted to see.
As any woman would,
Who loved you,
Like I do.
I am your shadow.
Your one,
And only,
Truth.
But even truth,
Is a lie.
For I have loved you,
As long as,
You have loved me,
Ignored me,
Left me.
Without regret.
I have taken care,
Of those,
Blind Eyes.
Helped them heal.
So maybe,
They can see,
The real truth,
In my words.
