I Am

I am the shadow on a wall

designed by a flickering candle

The lingering echo from a blood curdling scream,

enhanced by a broken heart

I am that savored untouched moment,

before the sun kisses the horizon

The words you wished you said,

before she drove away

I am the faint perfume you smell,

after a raging storm

The rustic ruins from an enchanted past

Now lining the graveyard we once walked

You'll look to find me everywhere

I dwell in your memories

In the sacred moments people miss

In that second I am there,

subtle, angry, loved, confident blunder

I am...
