You can’t see me,
hiding there.
You see right through
my body, too.
Ethereal though
my gaze might be,
I still see you
and what you do.
It’s what you feel
that feeds my needs,
from shadowed alcoves
I perceive.
You’re empty, too
oh, so alone,
so in your heart
I’ll make my home.
Though sight unseen,
I can seduce
and crawl into
a thought or two.
So you’ll know me
and I’ll know you.
There will be one
where once were two.
After a while
I’ll wear your smile
and slip within
your perfect skin.
Eclipsing what
was once a you,
then there’ll be one
where once were two.
