My Shadow's Pace

I've thought
about you
quite
a lot

your face -
you trained it
to follow me
form place to place

it's your face

it's in my dreams
it's running through town
busting at the seems

it's your face
wants to be seen
if only
you
were mean
i'd run
I'd make a meme

but my shadow
it knows
follows your face
wherever it goes

it's behind you
as you walk
it reads your lips
when you talk

my shadow
your image
you're in my
face
i'm creeping
up
i'm catching
up

i'm winning
the race
keeping up
with
my shadow's pace
