Shadows
March 15, 2013
When she could not be with him,
She kept company with the shadows,
That flickered off of the burning maple wood,
Cast from the stone fireplace to the drywall—
Until dawn would break through the picture window,
She swayed back and fourth with them,
As she hummed the tunes he wrote for her,
Somehow stumbling over her own steps,
But they were there to catch her,
When she was not able to fall into his arms,
Or blanket herself under his infectious eyes;
She thanks the stars he can hold her now,
As the faceless figures were making her lonesome.
