Haunted

Shapeless shadows, silently shifting, dancing and hiding, twirling, twisting. Swirls of incense, odorless perfume, vapor tinged with mist. Silver shimmer, hopeless glimmer, beauty in the eye, yet the prospects, dimmer. Candlelight flickers a desperate glow, soulless illumination.Lost in all those familiar places, years pass by, changing faces. Faith which fades, dies away. Envy in the glow. Whisper on a silent breeze, amusement in a frigid tease, longing for the warmth, raped so long ago.
