In the palm of the hand.
A quick shake,
but enough to know.
Damp, warm, alive ...
nervous.
Frightened.

Knowing the concerns
You took a risk,
one hastily calculated.
Because it had to be.
There was so little time.

Time for this frightened creature,
this shadow of a self,
to feel the benefits
that only you could bestow.
Or so you thought.

I knew.
I always knew.
Too big, the intensity
was all wrong for this frightened,
self-less woman/girl.

You could not reign in my fear
Instead, it spread to you,
Wrapped you in tentacles,
squeezed until life barely existed.

And in the translation
you for me and me for you,
I found desire
for an unforgotten self.

And I thank you,
and I hate you
I love you ...

It's true that only the ones you love, will hurt you.

I hurt you.
Didn't I just ...
and the only thing left to do,
is to say Goodbye.

Good-bye.
Silent, shadow lover, love, my love ... my mind is such a place as no one else will ever know.

(This'll be embarrassing in the morning ... well, actually, in about thirty minutes if I'm honest ...)
