Secret Of The Shadow Poem by Jessica Cummings

Secret Of The Shadow



He sighed into to the the night 'I'm lonely'
He cried himself into sleep
I whispered from the shadows 'I'm here for you'
But alas, he could not hear me
Nor see me for his eyes were shut
perhaps dancing with a dream


And there he slept
wencewhere he'd wept
And my heart leapt
with each step
that I crept
closer
through the night
Beholding him a lovely sight

I kissed him on his cheek
an airy kiss of tiny so
But for fear of waking him
decided I must go

Inside
a pang
My heart!
The thought!
That he might never know
That it was I who whispered to him
From between the shadows
