still seeing you
in so many faces flowing
past me
reaching out from inside me
past me
and projecting feelings so strong
that I see you when you weren't there
the past to me the present to me the future
(compressed singularities notwithstanding)
all three in one
you, me, our shared pain made of separate shards
one part naivete, two parts insecurity, three parts stupidity
bound and twined in poor timing
anger
sadness
resignation
emanating through me
now more than ever you're a shadow
cast on my life's horizon
fleeting, phantasmal
you flicker where you scorched
twinkle where you shone
and when I cry it's only softly now
