Did That Really Just Happen
I coincide with my fear
for that's how it began
not everybody seems to like it
but this is who I am
is it my learning curve trough
when I can barely stand
to see the damage
as such eclipsed reflections
ever seem to manage
Caught up in a daze
when no one is amazed
seeing the same old miracles
get boring around the way
keep the old memories
locked under heavy guarded key
when they are needed
unlocked, they now are driving
I still trust myself
far more than I do you
a hesitant resident to the evil
of for which I have no use
if I'm a danger
where lies your proof?
forever lacking
like my substance, abused
It's all a facade
when I involve
everyone's problems
while mine go unresolved
maybe just hidden
not fully denied
at least I embrace them
as yours eat your insides
As I seldom make sense
struggling towards safe
I would settle for distorted
at least I'm used to the grey
that enters as static
often hard to translate
if your listening closely
to the frequency of my hate
As our eyes meet, paralyzation
they cannot believe
the others fixation
in this, we witness
an intense exchange
as we wonder the question
we come off strangely the same
True friends, I found
need no explanation
or apologize to forgive
their embarassing frustrations
just a certain understanding
motives not lacking in action
as we ask ourselves in unison
Did that really just happen?
