"I Am Here"

I am here and alone. People move and breath about me,
Yet I am set apart, off in the distance.
I am a thought. I am a memory. I am your silent scream.
I am but a dream, which lives on within a dream.

I am here and gone. When I leave, it's only to return ~~
With so very little left to find.
I am a quivering breath. I am transparent. I am concealed.
I am but a sordid secret which longs to be revealed.

I am here and nowhere. It doesn't matter where I go,
For objects and life are always the same.
I am invisible and no one ever sees me.
Unknown faces. Unknown laughter.
I am the yellowed and brittle pages of a heart turned cold.
I am just a forgotten story, which has yet to be told.

I am here and within. Rising like mercury into your fantasies ~~
I am words. I am emotions. I am a deep and careful incision.
I am but a wall which serving as your inner division.

I am here and without. Look deep inside, beyond the gray- stained windows.
You will find me hiding, begging to be discovered.
I am a breath. I am an ash. I am the Northern Lights you once thought you sited.
I am just a tiny spark which has yet to be ignited.

I am here and crying. Reach me, find me, touch me.
Look at me now ~~ I am a feeling you have never felt.
Can you see me? Can you hear me? Am I the clear and still pool which sparkles your reflection?
I'm not who you think I am. I have changed ~~
Though remaining ever the same...
I have taken on a different form.
Don't touch me, unless I move towards you.
But how will you know, in my transparency so crystal clear?

I am still here.
