I heard your laugh echo off the dark walls.
Yet, I reached for you and grasped amongst the shadows.
I felt your breath flow over my excepting corpse.
Yet, I called for you and only call to the darkness and shadows.
I sensed you walking quietly on the darkened carpet towards me.
Yet, I ran down an endless hallway; I ended up in the shadows arms.
I tasted your sweet sugary kiss upon my wanting lips.
Yet, I yearned for more passion only to end up tasting tears.
I saw your clothing on my darkened floor.
Yet, I swept it up to smell your scent while the shadows titered.
I felt love for you and now you vanish,
just like the shadows and darkness could someday...
I woke up in a cold sweat and warm tears...
Wising I could hold you one last time.
For now though, I have the shadows and the memories that grace my presence.
