she cast no shadow

she cast
no shadow.
darkness never does.
she was most
happy
was when she
was sad
and lonely
aching
for what she
never had.
she was hard
to be around
for very
long. digging
her nails
into your skin
and asking
does that
hurt, and if
so you have no
idea what pain
really is,
or I am,
or where
I've ever been.
