I am the faceless man
I am the faceless man
The empty hand
You passed
And left to stand
A stranger on the corner
The friend in the mirror
That you didn’t find
A reflection of your hidden mind
A captive in your sharp
Cornered closet
A shadow on a hanger
Left by you to find
Awareness of
Unfound self.
