Scared of Your Own Shadow

To be afraid to live

stand in front of the mirror

watch myself curl my dark hair

paint my lips like so

put on my prettiest dress

wait for you like a puppy by the door

---

still waiting for you to show

me a sign of some life still in there

a glimpse of the man i caved for

fell so deeply in love with

but he's hiding from the world again

---

too scared of his goddamned shadow

for a simple "i love you too"

to slip from the mouth i used to kiss.
