I am

I am a creature of sad smiles,
My shadow's shadow.
An undanced waltz,
A sole soldier in the snow
Fighting dreams.

I am an actor with no part,
An extra's extra.
Composer of a song of myself
That falls on dead ears.

I am a frame to blank canvas,
The suit on the dead.
A storyteller with no tales.

I am yours,
Darling to a delusion.

I am
