Shadows In the Night
I am here my love in the darkness of the night
Yet, I know you cannot see me
maybe you can feel my presence
for, I am destined to remain,
unmoving, transparent
as I witness your sorrow
I can do nothing to ease your pain
or console you
there was a moment a light of such intensity
it seemed to beckon me
yet, I could not penetrate it
though I tried
so, I found myself still here with you
I do not mean to watch you in your agony
but, I know not how to leave
I hide here in the shadows of your life
to witness your grief.
