Shadows
by Anna Parrish
There are shadows between us...
Shadows of your childhood.
You won't talk about them.
Why?
No...
I know.
You don't need to tell me.
They disturb you,
Still,
Even now.
If I could help erase the nightmares,
If I could just earn your trust...
I think it's not possible.
I dream, but...
Oh, Bodie, if you only loved me
Like I love you...
...Like I love you...
