I see it in him
I see the pain
And I see the desire for some unknown
I see it in him too

What has occurred to put such depths into his haunted eyes?
What emotional trauma or physical dilemma
has created the man I see before me now?

Matching haunted spirits
Troubled minds
Searching for hidden answers
to unknown questions

Is this combination of two unnerving bodies wise?
Is it a volatile danger that is ready to break apart?
Could this be the cautionary tales once whispered
by our loving parents
as we were safely tucking away at night?

I don't know
I honestly do not know
He will be leaving soon anyway
So what's the point?
Another person
Another life that touches mine
Another life that disappears

Just the same old sad song
Stuck on repeat
Doomed
Ignored
Forgotten
