in the feeble shadow

cast by the cherry tree

the depression of you

still sleeps in the grass

after all these years...



you fell asleep next to me

and i stole glances of your kind face

for the longest time...

i understood the secrets

you tried to withold



beautiful secrets



now they are a part of me

forever



i am haunted by your breathing

your head against my shoulder

in the shadow

cast by the old cherry tree

blossoms caressing the sanctuary

where your body once slept

next to mine



Without you

i am but a shadow
