Shadow
I'm searching
for what, I'm uncertain
a pair of socks I'll never wear

maybe a ticket stub
the emptiness fills me
the rain relaxes me
Joni Mitchell sings my blues
the speakers cry my tears
the hallway catches my eye
as I realize
there is nothing eye-catching about it
I trip on a dream
and fall into a puddle of false hope
soaked with disappointment
I hang my head
I walk in the rain
it cleanses my thoughts
it's your shadow I'm searching for
