Sometimes I get so lonely that
I dance with the shadow of your memory
My soul wrapped around your silhouette
Reflecting off the imprint on my heart
Of your face, fading
The same as a star in the dark night
Gone
And me just not yet aware
Can’t comprehend it would cease existing
Because I still see it dancing there
Memories often wander across my line of sight
Replaying like adored old movies
That were a reality when I was young
And are now a world away
I can still see your body’s frame
Waltzing across wooden floors with me
Shining with the light seeping through the window pane
But now my eyes see you no longer
Only the blurry colors of what used to be
In a world of which, soul and heart I was apart
That has died away in me
And just like that star, intensely far
No matter the illusion that you are near
If I were to try to waltz again with you
You would break my heart and disappear
Thus distance is kept
Between what is now and what only seems
Otherwise where would you draw the line
Between reality
And dreams
