Mythology

I don’t know what to say
Though I’ve a million
Words and endings
Still all I think
Seems so lonely
It’s how I’d rather be

I can’t see in your eyes
They hold no meaning
I’m not receiving
Faces are patterns
Pages of meaning
That I cannot read

I can tell you no lies
Despite your feelings
The way I’ve been thinking
Your white lie living
Your self-deceiving
Never reaches me

I’m alone in the crowd
The silence screaming
My words demeaning
The ritual bleeding
All that hides in me

Now she’s back in my life
I feel the longing
The rhythms’’ singing
But something’s missing
That someone
Is me

I don’t know what it’s like
I live in shadows
My life is borrowed
From books I read

We don’t know what it’s like
We feel no sorrow
Only terror
And all that it brings

I don’t know what I’m like
I’ve forgotten
All I do know
I’m not who you see
