Where were you last night?

Stewing behind your curtain

Peeping out from narrowed eyes

Trying on an old disguise

They beckon you on

But you don't want to go

Out of the depths of your cocoon of a mind

Into the places of other kind

Watching your creation unravel

You look but don't touch when they flicker

You'll never reach the window

And you'll miss the show

A sense of déjà vu

But such an incredible view

You're motionless among it all

Just a fly on the wall

You're floating in the middle

A vestige frozen on the boundary

You're longing for someone to see

You just want to be free

Stuck in the moment of uncertainty

You hesitated constantly

Dwindling on the floor

Dawdling to the door

Where would you ever be
