I Wear You

could we be more than what we are
the spaces between cracks on a sidewalk
a shadow made in the play of long and short
where light had been blocked by an object
I shiver when I think of you walking in mine
I should’ve could’ve waited, waited forever
to place your hand to my lips, to my heart
something exists and is always present
more than outside lines traces of a silhouette
bending to places no one else could touch
cast from one forming a simple shade
where time brought brilliant color
and filled in the void with sunset hues
to become something so beautiful
I wear you like an invisible tattoo
where the dye darkens this truth daily
written so clearly upon my life and my heart

"I shiver when I think of you walking in mine"

when shadows touch it IS like that.
