Veil of Watching Shadows

I keep the room lit low

Screens flicker on the wall

I watch the rain slide down the

glass

I watch the late train fade and pass

I watch old films with the sound turned small

I watch the dust drift through the hall

Everything moves, but I stay still

Counting the hours against my will

I was made for watching stuff

Windows, weather, smoke and rust

Eyes wide open, heart held shut

I was made for watching stuff I

watch the night bend over town

I watch each empty curtain drown

I watch the streetlights stain the floor

I watch and wait for something more

If I move, the spell might break

So I let the silence ache

I was made for watching stuff Windows,

weather, smoke and rust

Eyes wide open, heart held shut

I was made for watching stuff

Still watching

Still

awake
