A picture

Her picture hangs
on the wall above my bed
Her eyes are shuttered
A gentle smile
Tastes her lips
Soul peers through
The crack in her vision
From beyond the surface
Of her likeness

She watches me
Passing perpetual judgement
Speaking endless love
Giving forever encouragement

When I leave the room
Her image stays engraved
On the inside of my pupils
Her voice unknown
Whispers to me
Her heart pounds in my chest

I am her manifestation
Carrier of her dreams

I draw her breath
Cry her tears
Live a continuation
Of her lifetime

When I close my eyes
We blur
Our souls fuse
We become what we will always be
Two wholes of we
Though I live our life
Inadequately
