For I Am Not the Wind

do you feel it?
on the tips of your ears.
the back of your neck
the ends of your heels.
for i am not the wind,
but a mere hoax.
i'm the voice in your head.
familiar, but just born.
the ache in your heart,
when they don't look at you right.
the dark that's missing the light. 
the whispers in the corridor,
who is singing to you, for i'm not sure.

the constant companion who is there,
until you know her name.
