The shadow whispered in my ear
Telling me things I've always wanted to hear.
But I felt uneasy, as I didn't know
The true intentions of the man behind the window.

It points at me, telling me to come near
The only time I've felt true fear
But alas, I walked. My heart sank low
As I inched closer to the man behind the window.

I soon believed that it so appeared
Its true intentions were somewhat clear
"It wants to help me, it's a friend. Not a foe"
I thought as I stood in front of the window.

But I was a fool, lies ringing in my ears
I trusted a being who plays puppeteer.
I gasped, realizing it was a show
As it pulls me inside of the window.

I'm on the other side shedding a tear
Screaming for help when no one is here
Stuck in a void with no place to go
I suddenly see a man behind the window.
