In this Shadowed Realm I wait,
not fully of the dark and
yet not walking in the light
I wait as I hear footsteps,
coming ever closer
yet they stop before reaching me
I turn and see nothing,
but I know he is there
I can feel him
Does he want for me,
as I need for him?
I know not his answer
I wait for him to speak,
and tremble at my need
to hear his words
I wait for him to reject me,
and send me on my way
so I stand in silence
Instead I hear a whisper
almost silent on the wind
that says "Come to me"
I walk into the dark,
though I am afraid
and my heart quakes
Will he stay with me,
or leave me on this path
to wander alone in the dark?
I know not the answers
to any question save one,
Do I want this?
I want to be me, I need
to be wanted......
so the answer is Yes
I will take this chance,
and hope that he
may do the same
