In the night of the the glow
of illumination from above
your intricacies painted by
shadow on textured wall
You seemed so close to touch
but when I reached out to feel
cold plaster covering block
chilled my sinking heart
The real you was far away
I fell for your projection
the beauty of the outline
a shadowed advertisement
