My shadow

My shadow wears
a pink frilly dress
a sun hat with handpicked flowers
shoes that compliment everything
Her hair is like a noisy ocean down to her waist
beautiful and blonde
My shadow is a flower
always growing and moving on
dancing in the wind
But that's not me

Lover

Lover
Painful, Selfish
Crying called romancing
and always a problematic 
Stranger

Why

I don't understand why we couldn't stay together.
Why did he say he loved me?
Why did we think it was ok?
Why did he pick me?

But most of all
Why did she tell everyone?
Why am I the one that's alone?
Why am I haunted with shame?

What I understand most is
Why do I have to pretend I'm fine?
Why my life will go on and his won't
Why none of it was real.
