Dances with Ghosts

There's a shadow in my room,
Dancing beneath where the heaviness looms,
My sadness entwines with his motion,
And I smile at him through the gloom.

I thought this longing for you would end,
And as I dance with my shadow, I cry;
Knowing there are many years ahead,
And that I cannot have you until I die.

Can't you see that all I have is you?
You have the universe; glory infinite.
But I have nothing, want nothing, am nothing,
Yet here we are, together, in a private moment, intimate.

This barren land reminds me of my solitude,
And I'm finding it hard to daily pretend.
Take me now, be with me when,
In timelessness we dance again.
