A shadow
comes and goes,
appears when light
shines on it,
then disappears,
into darkness
fades.
Like the shadow
I am there,
but not really
present,
outside myself
watching
her
fade
to the background
vanish.
Waiting
for a ray
of light
to come again,
holding on
to dreams,
for shadows
dream,
like me
I am here
See me
