Fragments of Your Shadow
Crossing this threshold
to the world of dreams,
I climb never-ending staircases,
following your footsteps
and fragments of your shadow
wherever they may lead.
Your steps halt,
and your familiar face
shows in the lingering light.
Gray eyes, carbon formed of love,
shine even as a cloud
hovers over the moon.
I reach for your hand,
and can’t quite touch your fingertips.

My last sensation,
I wake up
and your specter disappears,
swallowed by the darkness of night
that surrounds me
alone in my bed.
Eyelids heavy with exhaustion
and lost hope,
I let them close.
Lost in my subconscious,
I find a dreamless wasteland
until I rise again.
You are not here,
but still I search.
The feeling of warmth
as I freeze.
The scent of your cologne
in the air.
A song we shared on the radio.
You haunt me.
