Thin fade

I watched you from the silence where no one dares to look I knew your thoughts before you shaped them knew the beast beneath your breath its hunger its ruin and still I loved it I loved you I loved what broke you and broke me too I was there when your smile was real when your silence screamed I saw you hold her like she was light while I dissolved into shadow you laughed with her while I wept without sound I was not a name not a memory not even a ghost just a watcher wrapped in the ache of a love that never touched the surface you never saw the way I bled for you never felt the way I waited I knew your cruelty and still I stayed I knew the monster in you and still I called it beautiful
