abstract body double
impression of the one
i love
there's a faint overtone
of your loss

watching you plunge
bravely
or blindly
into your fears

i never know
which
for
you don't face me
as you once did

now i have to dabble
drip
with a brush
tracing the shape of
your laugh
onto your sullen form

you are still here
so we never said
good-bye

but unto you
i am afraid to say

hello



When the person you are closest to goes through something rough, you're there for them because you love them.  You pretend their inner hardships have no effect on you because they need you.

But you do feel it, even if you never admit it.
