the words that you write for yourself are so much more better then the words you write for others

You outline me perfectly
You follow me constantly
Always one step behind me
Every move you mimic me
I scream you don't hear me
I fall you don't catch me
So close but so far from me
appearance so loud
but you follow me silently
mere nothing but you mean so much to me
Turn off the lights and I no longer see thee.
