the half lit up man

the closer i get
the more wrought with jealousy i become
it is as though
no matter
how much
or how far

i am still filling up
his footsteps
and looking at the space
left still

i am shadowed by a man
much greater then i

and his eyes
though long closed
burn holes in my back

his breathe remains in my conscience
and his words
are harder still to dissolve on my tongue
