Desirable Shadow
why is it you never leave
though your rarely ever here,
and why do I feel I’ve seen you
when I’ve never felt you there,
and yet, I act you with me
while I act I do not care,
and ask such wasteful questions
when the answers simply fear
so perhaps it’s better to stay like this
and pretend I’m unaware
than unleash into your fire
and perish in a desire
that perhaps; we both do share.
