I've dreamt
of shooting stars
and wishing wells,
but dreams
get no one
anywhere.
Your words,
your lips,
your alibi-
all thoughts
I'm so familiar with.
I've guessed
at lurking ghosts,
like a memory
I'm fighting.
Black and white is lonely;
a fantasy of what could have been-
a certain shade
of
lovely.

Soft yet strong piece. There is this in between shade playing within the lines; Well done
My favorite lines:
