The Imposter

Who is this shell that walks my steps?

She awakes in my bed

The very place where I slept

Slumber replays more familiar scenes

I'm plagued by fear

Is this really a dream?

Cleverly cloaked she'll stalk my silence

I sense her struggles

Taste her desires

Seems the distance has caused her pain

Endless  letters and poetry

Yet no hint of her name?

My absent friend lies close within

She shares my life

She knows everything!

I cannot lose nor shake her free

Who is this ghost?

She, is me.
