Who am I
You greet me like you know me
I don't think you do
I don't recognise myself
and I sure do not remember you
I can see you, but I do not know your name
Or your date of birth,
Or from whence you came.
You are a stranger to me,
I do not recognise your face,
Can you see right through me?
Like a ghost that's lost its place on Earth
and does not know the way to go.
Why did you greet me as though you were a friend?
Your mere presence is beginning to offend,
The sight of you has confused me
and I HAVE A SHARP PAIN IN MY HEAD
Who is that lying next to you,
Which one of us is dead?
