Imaginary shadow

about someone i use to know, loved and lost

It started with a moment, 

filled with neutral looks and empty words. 

Those seeds of nothing grew 

to this three of light shining 

inside me,

with its branches piercing my flesh,

its leafs clouding my mind. 

You touched me,

and owned me. 

Now your shadow haunts my nights 

calling to the piece of you witch resides 

inside me, and your memories witch slowly poison me.

Illusions brake like dreams at sunrise, 

and with our masks frozen solid on our skin 

in this life we do what me must, even if it

crushes us.  

Only one question remains in this comic farse,

Were you ever real?

I can relate to this poem....for i have been in a similar situation.......love is hard......it sucks when we are in love with the person more than they are with us.....makes it difficult to cope when the love is not returned....your poem captures this.

You really pull us into the expressions of love.. lost or even real at all.. The feelings shared, the painful reflections, and the questions.. oh those questions. So well done.
