She is Light

She is light,
unnoticed
because she's always there
everyday
dependable
taken for granted

She is light,
she hides herself under a bushel
of smiles and mediocre talents
because she wants an element

she wants to be the fire that fuels your passion
the fire that makes your loins burn
until nothing escapes your lips but a
satisfied moan
she wants to be the water that wraps herself around you
and  drown you in her carefree "spontaneous" ways
she wants to be the earth.
yes, the earth.
The earth that you want to hold in your hands
the land you want to own
the movable, curvy earth that slides
to your perfect arms.
She wants you to be her air
the air she breathes and travels through

but she is light
easily pushed aside by any shadow
hidden by the darkness consuming all she knows
including you

she is light a wave of invisible torment
tears that are never shed
but buried  under years of use and abuse

she would have waited,
she would have stayed
but she is light,
but it was her you never noticed
until you pushed her away.
