Yet I dance

You claim to live in the shadows, yet you shine so brightly.

A different realm of tyranny, consumed by the bittersweet kiss of the night sky.

And I a shadow

A cloaked figure

Wandering on spirits that I will never truly own or be owned by.

I could only hope to touch remnants of the living.

A broken prince, curated heartbreak.

I let the lights like glitter blind me from the rest of the world.

I know there is nothing in front of me.

Yet I dance with a woman I cannot see.
