Me

How far I have come to meet you
Your ambition lies beneath your purview
How have you been, my old friend
Trapped, waiting for this torture to end

Tell me all about yourself, I ask of you
You're  hard to trust, I construe
Trust me, for this time I will not deceive you
You can't deceive me, even if you try to

Then tell me who exactly are you
I am what you always knew
Veiled by your complaisant being
I hear you could make the sun rise, and the birds sing

I am no conqueror, I haven’t what you seek
You are the dawn to my perpetual bleak
It’s someone else you fancy, now leave me be
But we are one, can’t you see?

Let’s be together and set you free
Like we have in the past, haven’t we?
In a corner, you left me stranded
It wasn’t me; it was what others demanded

Oblivious I have become of who I was
Let’s find it together for a mutual cause
I will trust you this one last time
And one we shall become, you and I

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
