Strangers
She smiles at me
Sitting there everyday
If only I knew who she was
She smiles at me
Pale skin bathed in light
Her eyes ask me to stay
If only I knew who she was
Scared to shatter my delusion
Silence holds me there
She smiles at me anyway
Swallow my fear
She sits there wordlessly pleading
Take my hand and look at me
What am I to say?
Another test?
The past wasn't enough?
Dark hair flowing
Her grace undemanding
If only she would stop smiling at me
Close my eyes
Wishing she'd disappear
Close my eyes
Wishing I was nearer
Walk up to her
Her twinkling innocence imploring
Sit by her side and
Whisper
Why do you torment me?
Are you only in my head?
Is your smile the truth
Or just another radiant lie?
She smiles at me
With ruby red lips parted
An image of purity
long thought departed
If only I knew who she was
She gets up with ease
but with a strength unseen
Surely she is salvation
My perfect illusion
Please don't leave
Ive gotten used to you
Grab her hand
Cracks like glass
Grasping at the breeze
I'm sitting alone
She smiles at me
From far beyond
Safe in my minds eye
I know who she is
Finally im free
Open my eyes
And smile
...He smiles at me
Sitting there everyday
If only I knew who he was...
