The Games Our Shadows Play

To be with another

all the while seperate

is to have your soul

tangled up in someone else's.

To feel them tug at you

but never feel them need you.

Real enough to hurt

not real enough to hold.

These are the games our shadows play

and if we learn to love them in a special way

they may learn to fogive

and you may learn to stay.
