This Darkness

I look over my shoulder

I wonder if I could be wrong

Did I see what I wanted?

But, I ponder..

I gaze with longing at the door.

I would like to see my reflection

On the glass’s handle..

But, all I see is my disillusionment

I question at my inept eye

How could I be so wrong?

I sigh with regret

How could I not see this impending kismet?

There I go with my roving eye, again.

This time my heart feels the flutter

There he stands before me

But, I do not see his aura.

I look closer

All I see is a mirage.

All my longing flying out the window.

And, the darkness closing in on me.
