Shadows

How selfish to follow without contact.

Why would you care enough to be touched by my words but not enough to grace my heart with yours?

You feel in touch with me do you?

Do you even consider I may want, hunger even, for your voice? To simply know you are there?

You hide and you spy. Feeling updated. Maybe even a fondness, yet you don't consider the selfishness of this shadow lurking.

This is brilliant and especially applies to ex-es who indulge in lazy communication like texting and facebook stalking looking for an ego trip making people hopeful and they end up with a lot more pain.

It was facebook that inspired this. :)

so right...

I dig this, that is so hypocrite.
and as you say indeed selfish.

To be a friend, you must be a friend, you know,
Not harm others, spying others...

Nice painful piece.

Wow, This is painfully beautiful.
So short and powerful, I really admire this piece because I have always
wanted to write a piece without rhyming and still make it just as powerful.
You sir, Have cracked it.
Full credit to you.

Wow, thanks for your praise J :) glad you liked it.

[JiDonnelly]

Liked is an understatement, I loved and admired this piece.
Think the only thing it seriously lacks is credit!

I'll certainly be reading more sweet!

u express that well, mark. i have had that experience....a one sided friendship....when a person seems to enjoy being sought out, but doesn't do any seeking themselves....

Hi Mark a nice little piece that reminds me of the internet and the Cafe. Where people 'dance in the dark' whilest keeping theirn distance.

Thanks John :)
