I watch you.

Hiding in the Shadows

listening to your laughter

It rings over me like music

It cuts me like a knife.



I watch you.

Hiding in the Dark

watching your smile.

It brightens me like the sun

It burns me like a flame.



I watch you

Embraced by the night

smelling your scent

like roses it rushes to my head

like pepper it makes my eyes water.



I watch you

Cloaked in Night

watching as you sleep.

Your chest rises

My heart stops.



I watch you

and long to take your hand

As your tears break my heart

I cry and long to taste

I cry for your remorse.



I watch you

I watch you

I wait

I dream

I wait.



I watch you

The dark about me.

Knowing that someday

you'll be ready.

Someday.



I watch you.

Your love in the shadows.

I wait

You will come to me

I know you will.





Won't you?



I watch you.

In the shadows of your life

I am always here

I watch you

Forever.
