I always thought I resembled you ,
But we’re forever different in your eyes,
Even when we try to become someone new,
We remain glued to each other’s lives

I’m always following you wherever you roam,
Changing my form to match what becomes of yours,
I felt safe around you as you became my home,
But you felt the opposite and locked the doors.

As we grow older my love for you expands,
The light surrounding your figure only illuminates you brighter,
Yet all you see when I reach out for you with my cold, dark hands,
Is a gloomy mirage that you reject when I try to hold you tighter.
