In the Shadows

I live

In the shadows

Of your mind

Never knowing

Always feeling

So afraid to find

Remnants

Of what

She left behind

There's no room

No space

No place

For me

No light

No air

I can't breathe

Can't see

I try

To stake

My claim

At night

Head

On chest

In your grooves

Just right

But you're far

Away

By morning's

Light

Still,

Others say

We're a

Pretty sight

But I

See it all

Too clear
