From Afar (Prose Poem) by ObsequiousGem
Here, where you dream, I watch you sleep,
I watch you lay in silence, you breathe so deep,
I know you well, everyday I've seen you succeed,
I may even love you, and I know it's me you need.
I am your protector, everyday I watch over you,
I am a shadow, following your every move, it's true,
You are beautiful, my bright silver gem in the night,
I challenge the world, for I will win every fight.
I have no purpose here, other than to be close by,
I don't want to lose you, I would only wish to die,
You yearn for me, I feel it from within your soul,
To have me as yours, I know this is your one goal.
Before the first days light, I move to watch you from afar,
Every morning I know you see me, for I am the last star,
You look for me, wanting me more and more each day,
I want this too, but many laws I must continue to obey.
I promise you that someday, I will be a part of your life,
More than just a shadow, I will have you as my wife,
Until then my lover, I will watch over you each moment,
I cherish your moves, the time together that we've spent.
Just before you open the windows to your soul, your eyes,
I leave you for a simple moment, each piece of me inside dies,
I vow that we will be one soon, I swear it won't be too long,
My heart will never change, I know you will remain strong.
