The Way I Love You

I run,

Broken…

In pieces,

I'm shattered…

So I float,

Do you see me…

No,

You never will,

I'm translucent…

I'm your shadow,

Your every reflection,

I mirror you,

Your follower…

But you don't love me…

You don't see me…

I'm the thing that pursues you,

I'm the one who watches you like a heart beat on a monitor you pray to never cease and desist,

I love you the way that a sadist searches for his masochist…

Desperately,

I'll want you for as long as species will wonder our beginning…

Our once upon a time…

For an eternity,

I know you like a newborn calf knows to stand once he breathes his first molecule of air,

But I don't exist…

In your eyes,

But I love you…

I love you.
