Oservant Shadow

By RubyXero

I waited.  right outside her door.
Listening to the rumaging
around the corner.
Waiting... feeling the anger
and grudge in the sounds
of forceful movements.
Debating whether I'd rather
emerge myself...
or just remain the
observant shadow.
Silent yet supportive.
A neutral party
in all things contradictory.

    There's nothing there, I checked. Nothing but the wind, so nothing to see.
