Swiftly you steal my soul, and
Hide it within your shadows.

Your history is a whip, your
Fingers locks and chains.

A whisper escapes your lips, and
Hovers as smoke about my head.

Mystery is your depth;
I am in solitude, drowning.

© Becca W., Greenbrae, CA

This was written when I was struggling to understand this girl in my life who had such a massive history and had done so many things that I was having a hard time getting over it.
