The Devoted One

You hope someone else has walked in your shadows,
Has picked up crumbles of your many lives
With lovely, trembling hands
Only to fold them, small as secrets,
Into the pockets of a rusting heart.
That same someone has written down the song
Of your soft grieving
And named it for your calmly storming eyes.
That someone may not wait for you forever
While you defy yourself by searching farther still
Into the depths of hope and great despair
(Your shadows feel familiar there)
