Like a ...

Like a child,
I dance around in the snow,
Like a smile,
It forms on my face and grows,

Like a laugh,
Forms from my mouth,
Like a word,
Never to make a sound,

Like a walk,
Never to run,
Like a Fall,
I start to come undone,

Like a song,
To be heard in my mind,
Like a ghost,
To walk at my side,

Like a hand,
To shake politely,
Like a stare,
I hold your thoughts tightly,

Like a word,
Never to cross your mind,
Like your thoughts,
Always scared enough to never leave my side.
