do you like me as an artist or as a friend? was I a lover that called at the end of the night, or one that faded into the darkness? am I preserving voice within your life or just a chiming ear across the bar? a tongue spewing a string of meaningless profundity or am I a list drawn of striking profanity? a professional handshake ? or a charming smile ? an awkward pause ? do I swim in your mind like a diver ? or do I pass like a wind ?
