You don't see me, you can't hear me.
The heat of the day
burns up
my skin
as I long once more,
for a cold embrace.
The shade cools down
my eyes.
The warmth of the air
takes my breath away.
I have no place to run
away from
or to hide
unless my destiantion
has you in mind.
You change my mind
every time.
Making me think better
of our time.
Never lying to me,
I lay before you
brought to life;
killed by the warmth
of painful words from the
wise.
Lying to me,
I try to stand over the waters,
sinking down into
to my own surmise.
The icy cold waters
of your breath
rush over me
as I drown away in the tidal wave
of our struggle.
The warmth of your truth
comforts me.
The ashes of everything
burnt up
choke me
alive.
The smoke vanishes down
away from the blinding
burning sunlight
of our last sunset moment.
Clouds fog my memory
of how I thought better
as I swim through the smoky haze,
reaching for your hand.
The shadow of my ghost
dances weightless
with you
everywhere you go
and everywhere
you are not.
You don't see me
you can't hear me.

Amazing work, Doc. I loved the emotion, and your beautiful writing. Every stanza pretty much had a line that I was in love with. Great work!
