Silhouette

In dark, only light I saw

In pavements, only shadows were clear

The lit candles defined you

You might smiled, you might scowled

In a stray blurr, I realised

You had no face, no identity

Uncanny shadow was what covered me

Eerie silence surrounded me

I thought I’d be able to figure you out

I thought I’d be able to ask you things

But then I drifted off in a swift

And daylight brought me back to actuality

I’ve seen you many times

In my dreams every night

You were always right there

In the corner you stand

But then again as I’ve said

Silhouette—the only visible I saw

All of these were brand new

Even you were anew

Untypical, unclassified

I don’t know if it was true

Just let me know if it was
