I lurk in corners
It’s where I like to hide
You can’t see me
But I can see you
You are my study
I know you in ways others do not
But you can’t see me
Shadows are my home
Backgrounds my habitat
I could dress like you
And try to talk like you
But it doesn’t work that way.
So I stay out of view
And while you carry on being
I wonder what it is to be
