Do we have anything between us?
or am I chasing a mirage,
a shimmering shadow
that glitters sometimes
only to disappear
after some blithe moments
to treasure whilst your absence
You mayn’t know
but every time you decide to leave
I am pulled into a ravine,
an abyss,
a bottomless pit of darkness and despair
Until you appear again to disappear
and the mirage loop continues

Life goes a full circle…sometimes we can’t help treading the same paths again…that being human I guess.

This reminds me of a rainbow I once chased. I could only see the color when I was far away.
