Plastic cups on a windowsill
Your watch still stuck at 6:04
Strangers pass on silent wheels
This city's not yours anymore
Flickering signs say"VACANCY"
I read them like apologies
The mirror caught your final glance
Stored it deep in silver glass
You’re a shadow in chrome
Gone, but shown
Faint, but known
A shadow in chrome
Still moves alone
Elevator hums like a hymn
Old receipts folded at the brim
I press rewind on empty walls
Echoes stretch but never fall
You’re a shadow in chrome
Gone, but shown
Faint, but known
A shadow in chrome
Still moves alone
No trace, no tone
Just shadow in chrome
