The eerie scene in front of me
Displaced by the foggy glass
Calls me forward into my
Displaced motion of feeling.
You saw me as you walked past
Tired and heavy
From a long adventure,
Your eyes passed through me
As if I were your mere reflection
Exhibiting the nights obstacles.
I never saw you enter
But knew you were here
Looking for something
Or someone
Yes I am the one in the window
The one that you chose
Chose to gaze upon amongst
All those busy shells
Marching on as they were told to
The air around me is weighing
Down with every breath
That is full of something to say
I remain at this window
Waiting for your eyes to spot
Something of what you were
Searching for
As you passed by earlier
The look of confusion on your face
Twisted my hopes of recognition
Oh what I would give
To be the one you sought out
On that rainy afternoon
The mascara tracks that quickly raced
Down your cheeks painted a picture
Of self destruction in love
A picture of self discovery in denial
A picture of self worth in empty space
Your essence drifted on the air
And danced with every sense
Inside of me
Would you ever know me
Would my ears ever be serenaded
By your story
Would your look of desperation
