The Man

The man

That is not quite there 

Looks at me just once

Before he disappears again

And I am left alone.

The man

Who has always been there

Is more a shadow than a face 

But where a shadow will always be there

He is impossible to place.

The man 

That only I saw

A personal demon for me

Made me a dizzying specimen

A terrifying cocktail of confusion and apathy.

The man 

That was so real to me 

The most solid illusion there is

Taunted misplaced and stole me

More efficiently than anything that really exists.
