Shimmers in the Night
March 12, 2015
you
left me alone
when you
vanished
i am
seeking
the shadows
you cast aside
in your wake
they are heavy
with waves and
angry with frothy foam
and drifting
without you
one ghost
to the next
i search
for clues
but all
you
left behind
were hearts
once whole
now shattered
into the sparkling
glass
that shimmers
under the night

I like it, but (no offense) I feel it lacks something... Some sustenance, understand? But perhaps that's just me. Still, there's a haunting chill I feel when I read it, so perhaps that's what you were going for? All in all, great work ^-^
