As a shadow I might be
within your thought and see
the fragile constructs that are now
just so well hidden -

as a human I might lose
this very notion of your self
and thus abuse your trust
your life, your wealth of heart -

I am sorry now
but was not sorry from the start
where I should have seen that
if we drift any further -
and even further now apart -

world ends.

And begins anew
but with less colour,
with less beauty

for it is
without you.
