Girl.

Shadow girl.

Seldom do I think of her -
without the vaguest smile.
A touch of calm serenity.
A certain lack of style.
Playfully resentful.
A shy elusive charm.
Awkwardly addicted -
to causing me great harm.
Sleeping with such trauma.
Mind beset with fear.
Cradled in affection.
I pull my passion near.
For delicate is happiness.
And short the time at hand.
Melting into midnight.
Sinking like the sand.
Sinking into solitude.
Time I'll slay for her.
My arms around a shadow,
the way they always were.
