A Lost Soul

Inside the idle crevices of an empty soul

Lays a part of me that I shall not befriend.

Now it is filled, and then drained again

By faces and places I do not comprehend.

 

Scratched upon by an old splintered pen

The scars on this soul shall never ever mend.

Now it is clean, and then stained again

By faces and places I do not comprehend.

 

Just a look in the mirror and all is clear,

I am not whom I often seem to pretend.

Now I am me, and then another again

A face in a place I do not comprehend.
