Shadows

The evening casts long shadows
she stirs and sighs
the shadows passing through us
as her hand reaches mine
and pulls away
Her glazed over eyes
search for something or someone
thats not visible to me
Saddened eyes dart
and rest on an image
that brings her to life
momentarily,
only momentarily
and she retreats
back into the world
shes become trapped inside of.
I call her softly
but my voice falls down
on its way to her - fades like dust before us
leaving darkness to swirl
deep into my mind
deeper into her mind
taking her from me
and I am lost too
