I remember in the fantasy, whenever I breathed.
I looked upon you, and you did not need to.
I can't believe that I believed I achieved such a bliss.
A diseased memory, that I can't seem to reminisce.
For you are not her, how could I be so blind?
You are just her shadow that's casted along behind.
I find you in my mind, confined to the perfect moments.
Unbind to your design, reminding me you're an omen.
I see you now,
Shadow Woman.

a little funny story lol,
i wrote this a year ago in high school, it was part of my creative writing project. i had to create a 25-page poem portfolio so i decided to tell a story throughout the poems, all of them were connected. the whole collection was about a girl who the narrator (me) had a crush on. he never talked to her, instead he created a version of her within his mind and created fantasies where they were in love. this poem is one of my favorites because it’s his realization that he’s been fooling himself with this fictional girl based on real emotions. i just wrote “sky woman” (based on my girlfriend) without even thinking about “shadow woman” and it’s just funny how she became real.
