You, Me, and a Shadow

Beside you I always see
Her shadow standing still
In every move there is she
With her smiling mockery,

Capturing you with her soul
Keeping you close to one sole
Smashing my heart with a look
Telling me you've been hooked,

Dragging every single part of you
To her far away world
Bringing back years that gone
And in old memories you drown,

In wonder I stare upon
Of what had passed, or will come
No place for me, I can see
You've never fallen for me.
