To the Shadow in the Corner

Why did you vanish
and where did you go?
I waited all evening
but you didn't show.
I drank all my wine
and then ordered more;
at two in the morning
I crawled to the door,
yet saw only shadows
and slurred all my thoughts.
With frazzled emotions
all tied up in knots,
I howled at the moon
and puked in the street
then rose to my knees
and searched for my feet,
but I couldn't stand
to utter your name
although in the mirror
we both look the same.

I search for myself
and test my reflection
then wander the world
in every direction.

Tomorrow I'll try
to find you again,
so hide if you want
but you'll never win.
Running away
won't hide what I see
I'll always be there
and you'll always be me.
