Dancing With a Shadow

close your eyes
pretend I am there
an apparition that comes
from out of thin air

the scent of want
the taste of desire
breaking out in cold sweat
your soul on fire

dancing with a shadow
music sung from memory
a record playing in your head
from a phantom abditory

night after night
your dreams remain the same
whispering in your sleep
whispering my name
