Took her steps,
Glancing over to her shadow,
To see those moves I had disguised for so long.

Trails of her breath nestled on my shoulder,
Casually leaning on her was my intention,
But I forever transcended onto her mask.

Classy in the morning,
Classless by the night’s even moon,
I realized far too late to string her together.

I ran through her without seeing,
Believing for she was so clearly mounted,
But left retreated by a familiar shadow.

I knew she was too good to be true,
But those eyes were beside me,
Telling me to forget.

Wishing her back,
No leaving her behind,
I just can’t leave her shadow ever again.

A shadow that laced my heart and mind together, forever.

I see little that I like in here anymore.

I did enjoy this one tonight though.

haunting...and there is just SOMETHING about it

long time no see.
I miss your poems around here.
This is a unique approach and perspective.
You didn't just say the usual.

"Classy in the morning,
Classless by the night’s even moon,"

Maybe my favorite part if I had to pick one.
the even moon
I think the great thing about your poetry is your adjectives.
I mean, I've never thought of the moon as even, but it just fits.
Your words seem to perfectly and gently placed.
beautiful.

post more, please.

this is a beauty
the pure yearn for something

knowing you should turn and back away

This is dark poetry if I've seen it.  It as previously said the tension between doing something that is the opposite of what you should do.  Darkness is about struggle and the struggle in this poem is perfectly written.  Wonderful write.
