Bashful

Hiding in the shadow

Of the fog sleeping in the glass

Alone and exposed

No one sees my songs

No one hears my tears

Shower curtains, don’t let me in

Don’t let them touch my skin

I’ll wash the wounds away

Behind the curtains

Under the doors

Away from such a lampshade life

My shadow’s rubbing off

Like the powder in the deep night sky

She slipped into my dreams

From my quote-unquote reality

Why, oh, why, only her?
