Angel Boucher

Just linger in the shadows,
a ghost hidden away.
I’m the one you superpose,
And now feeling a sense of dismay.

You see the smiles I imprint on you,
and wonder how I’m doing so well,
when you thought I’d subdue.
It’s everything you dwell.

Now you live with my memory,
in the loudness of your quiet night.
Watching me like the best documentary,
Looking at it in hindsight.

You take what little’s left of me
in glances I didn’t give freely.
Waiting for me to make my plea,
while I show myself steely.

Does it drive you crazy?
Is this not what you expected?
Looking back, is it hazy?
Are you feeling rejected?
