Listen to poem:
You are the absence
And yet the presence
Following
Like I owe you
Something
You fade in and out
Of existence
Lurking
In the sunlight
Casting doubt
On my bright thoughts
Two dimensional
Grey and quietly
Stalking
Unsensational
And yet..
You are faithful
Ever present
The shadow heart of me
We walk in time
You never criticize
I should credit you
For loyalty
And not despise
I created you
You form part of me
You cast me
You are my 'who'
Extend me safely
Allow me to protect
Others from the glare
As the spotlights detect
You are soul's proof
Of existence
The silent witness
