My Visiter
A life I have had has left me
And willingly I gave it all up
Time has left memories for me to see
And hide I cannot to be left in doubt
And I am to have a visitor at this time
A stranger I do not at all… know
Though familiar he appears from behind
And a likeness in kind indeed he is to show
The once me, a once me he appears to be
Looking at me with those sinful eyes of his
Reminded of a past from him I can only see
With nothing to suggest any comfort of ease
How can I begin this new me I wonder?
Stepping into the unknown, onto unfamiliar grounds
With already many nights away to ponder
My distant from the world knows no bounds
The stranger reminded me a time
A time I desire lesser for my future to be
A future in exchange for memories behind
Is there but a life I am to have in me?
