A poem by Quinn Zhael

Oh
Shadow
My darling
You breathe beside
Me as I lie here
Hear my heart in your hands
As it sloshes with each beat
Darkness falls as your red eyes blink
Without you, I was left on the brink
With a darkened heart, forever to be
Wondering where you went when you left me
Undulating upon a dark sea
Searching for the mirror of me
The connection that tells me why
There’s more than an empty
Blue sky; my Shadow
Shrinks into a
Newly born
Black hole
Oh
Shadow
My darling
Your words swimming
In my mind; my kind,
My gentle phantom friend
Love you til the very end
The trees impose the sense of you
Whispering; sweet like the scent of you
Oh, my darling, my shadow
We are Two
