Tattered Existence

I watch you dream
I watch you sleep
I wait until you
Get out of bed

I follow close
Watch you get dressed
You go downstairs
And eat breakfast

I'm keeping up
You take the train
To go to work
Be part of the chain

I stay behind you
All the time
I hope adoring you
Is not a crime

I still remember
What your skin feels like
I'll never leave you
Not without a fight

The evening comes
You leave your desk
I'm close after you
Not taking a risk

Back in the train
Standing next to you
You lean your head
Against the window

The street lights glimmer
Passing by like stars
I try to remember
A memory I don't want to lose

We used to dance
Into the night
We were two angels
And quite a sight

Men burned with envy
When I held your hands
We were complete
Until we lost our chance

Finally at home
You take a shower
You read in your room
Until midnight hour

Suddenly you stand up and turn around
It looks like you are facing me
I smile at you
Yet you stare right through me

Stare at me
Take a close look at me
I'm standing right in front of you
