Still As My Shadow
I look in the mirror that sees the rear view
Someone is there that looks a lot like you
A pair of sharp eyes of a person I knew
A phantom that can't come further than glass
Caught in between, stuck at an impass
Made up of memories swirling en masse
I find myself alone again when I turn
But behind my reflection a searing gaze burns
I still check each time never willing to learn
I spend all my nights waiting for you to arrive
For this uncanny copy of you to revive
I do nothing these days but drive and drive
Mirror image when gone, where do you go
I wish you were still someone that I know
Looking over my shoulder, still as my shadow
