Shadow of a soul

Insignificant,
you didn't even notice me
Fading into the background.
Much as a chameleon mixes with
it's surroundings.
However, i do not feel 'one'
with the universal laws.

I feel invisible.
How can i reach out,
when no one sees my transparent
supplications, arms open so wide;
they could engulf you whole.

Hiding my aching hunger
Failing miserably,
especially when i see your face.
Ah, my fascination why?
Must i become mute?
Unable to spill my heart
whenever you near?

Beguiled and lost,
never to be same shape and
texture
as at the moment before
I glimpsed you true.
All others faded into nothingness.



Author notes

I chose nothingness... and how when we're around people we have 'crushes' on.. we often feel like this ,

    I think the puppy analogy draws attention away from the meaning of the poem Everything else is deep and has a rich meaning, but I think the poem would be much better without it. The rest is very well thought out and the emotion runs off the page. Great write!

    I feel that it started out a little juvenile, but it became stronger the more that I read. Your message was too easily sighted within your word usage, but I did feel a tugging between love and hate by the time I finished. Emotionally, it was very well thought out.

    Wow

    Quite a deep read ... the first stanza really pulls the reader in and makes them want to re-read this again and again.

    I felt so compelled by all the emotions as I read this

    Great write
