near miss

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

(...there are shadows in...) Her voice.
distracting me;

(...one place I lived before...)
I feel my words fade; hide again 
as if in doubt

(...no more the same...)
I am the person I was then.

(...six years, or so...)
I'm less dark inside now;

but my silence stands to prove

(...I've been afraid to return.)
That in some way I am less.
