Weight of Words

Silhouette

My shadow is shorter.
Finally, someone I'm taller than.

Dancing shadows flirt with the dark.
late at night, no sounds of anarch.
I'm trapped inside my head again.
Thoughts on how this mess first began.

I found, I wanted to run before I'd fall.
Half of me knows, that decision's already been called.

I twirl my hand around in the dull night light.
Creating whimsical silhouette figures to distract myself from this fight.

I know, when I leave this bed letting my heart win, that it's a stupid mistake to let you in.

I know it won't be long before you prove you're just like the rest. I can't for the life of me
figure out why, I'm willing to put you to the test.

I don't even know you and yet here I am.
Wish something would snap me out of the trance like state that you have me in.
