Her Laughter Between Us

the echo I could not reach

Her Laughter Between Us

When I see her beside you,

smiling the smile

I once thought was mine,

I do not hate her.

I hate the shadow

you cast between us,

the wall of secrecy

that grew where honesty

should have lived.

You chose not to wound me

with words,

and so you wounded me

with shadows.
