I am no where to be found
as I
disappearing in between
the space of
inconsequential words
and
thoughtless feelings

Barely as a shadow
I exist
and only flutter
to life
when
a true kindness
is said
and tentatively
become content

Warmth flows in
and I am
whole
for a while
till
the next time
when
reminded

It begins again

I slip
back in the shadows
and slip between
the cold comfort
of
the inconsequential words
and hide.
