Cloaked

 

I stepped into your shoes

I made you better than before

I walked the path you walked a thousand times or more

I smiled your smile and laughed your laugh

When I peered in the water I was taken aback

Wise eyes

Crooked nose

Endearing grin

I stepped from your shoes and dove in 

Emerged, dripping 

I felt you melt away until you were nothing but a pang in my chest

I held you no longer, released you

Young and unstinting, an artless butterfly

I'm no cocoon
