Yuri

You are like a shadow;

One that’s passed away.

One that is long gone;

A creature of the grave.

You are like a ghost;

Belonging to another dimension;

But owning half of me;

Distracting my entirety.

You are like a spirit;

You caught my mind, my heart, my soul;

You transfixed me that day;

You snatched my love that night.

You are like a witch;

A playful, evil sorcerer;

A stubborn enchanter;

A lovely beast.

You are like the moon;

The love of the universe;

The one you once wanted to have;

The wine of your own being.

You are like the night sky;

I cannot see where you sleep;

Nor touch your edgeless bed;

Nor feel your heartbeat.

You are like the sun;

Once winter comes you’ll die;

Shining with blood and heat;

Dying of your own flesh.

You are like the breeze;

And breezes end too fast;

Stirring me up tensely;

Ending all abruptly.

You are a confusion;

I do not know what held you back.

Still I cannot see today,

though I feel you are here.

You are a depression;

Even today, that I think of you;

And the melancholy Russia;

I can see no-one else but you.

You are a chain;

A lock that holds me still;

A forgotten crush;

A tremor that brings tears.

You are a doubt;

An unfinished love story.

I wish I could write about you;

But all that existed shan’t be true.
