Shadow Creature
I'm awake while your asleep. I creep behind that shadow you cast on the wall beside your bed. I sneak inside her eyes while she searches every crevice of your body for some hint of warmth. I exist it that heart of yours that stalled out on you that winter right before spring. Im the black tar that clings to your lungs after every last pack of menthols that slit your lungs and bleed you dry. I'm that hideous noise your dishwasher makes. I'm that leak in your kitchen sink. I'm everywhere and nowhere, always on your mind, never on your brain. A constant memory to that day. The one where you lost me for good.
