Shadow Dancing

Shadow Dancing

I saw your shadow on the wall
Dancing just for me
I hope

Did you see me in the
Corner taking quick
Furtive glances trying
To hide my
Desire

I sent my shadow out to
Meet you
Armed with all the things
I’ll never have

I gave my shadow
Confidence and sophistication
My shadow knew how
To move on the
Dance floor

Loaded down with all
The right words
My shadow swept you
Off your feet with
The ease I only dream of

I watched you kiss
My shadow
And dreamt
Of those kisses
On my face
