Light and shadow

I have seen your shadow,
A thousand times,
At the edge of my sleep,
Night after night,
Dream after dream,
Beyond my touch,
Above my reach.

You emerged to light,
One day,
Like the sun does,
From behind the clouds,
You called my name,
Again and again,
But I couldn't respond.

The light is gone
I grope in the dark,
Now it's me,
Who calls you back,
But you have left,
Hurt and injured,
While I writhe in pain,
Misunderstood.
