the light is going fast
and you'll soon see
or maybe say (like
other men have said)
you look best in shadows
it's those high cheekbones
so-called bedroom eyes
the this or that of you

it's supposed to
be a compliment but
you don't see the same things
i see in the darkness
mainly the shadow
of the shadow

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Oh boy, Faith, this is good. I grew into an expert over the years seeing the "shadow of the shadow." It caused me a lot of grief. I finally found out how to shine the light on those shadows. Good writing.

Been there, heard that...
in fact, if it wasn't 30 years later
I'd say the very same guy was after
you too!

I wonder how old that line really is?
