shadows
if only
ours could be friends
if only our souls
would infuse them with light
looking back
I could not see the shadows
of my past
I had been afraid of yours
coming out of hiding
swallowing and spitting me out
triggered by my clouded projections
now that I have been engulfed
consumed and left
I hurt and feel the pain of mine
if only ours would dissolve
in the resonance of our souls
our spirits would soar
and dance again
with each other
