A shadow whispering for years

A poem wrote long ago for a love that never quite made it full circle.

 

You step into the light

A shadow whispering for years

Never wanting to stop and wonder

Or be broken by tears

 

The softness of your hands

Reaching through the dark

Wanting to know you more

My skin to hold your mark

 

Unknowns are the apparent

The tingles filling my every pore

Waiting with anticipation

For that night you walk through my door

 

I know the world brings you pain

It drains the life from you

It takes your dreams and cages them

Sometimes crushing things you do

 

But in the darkness where I dream

I am thinking of you still

You aren’t alone in this big world

Because it’s my heart you fill

 

With thoughts of caring tenderness

A distance and time away

A fantasy wanting to be real

Thought of everyday

 

Just know that no matter what

A caring friend I will be

Even when life screws you up

You’ll have love from me

This is so touching. You have expressed yourself fluently. I must favorite this one. Very, very good. I can't get over your wording, so beautiful. It's what I try to always achieve. Good, good, job.
