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. --------------------------------- Debbie Stevens © 2009
