Me , Myself and I

a world turning 
back in time 
that always seems 
to cross the line

a lonely feeling
deep inside 
without a trace
alone to die...

just me myself and I

so here I sit
and eat the fig
as though I didn't care

I'm lost inside
my selfish pride 
behind this golden stare

now all is said
from what's been done 
years that pass
that yet to come

so here I sit
in misery 
with no where left to run

so many times
I hide inside
this life that shouldn't be

but now the mind
is mesmerized
for all the world to see

face to face
eye to eye 
drifting off 
in backward times

just myself and I
