Your eyes reflect my own expression
Like someone I knew from long ago
A face from a life I can't remember
A mirage in the shape of you
You are more enigma than mystery
An image dissolving
As it appears
I want to hold your aura
Yet I feel nothing
Familiar yet foreign
Unknowing, unraveling
You walk in the shadows of my perception
You speak with a fondness that I cannot recall
I find myself lost in this place
This crude tomb that encompasses me
White fades to black
An image of you and everything I once knew
A gap forms
An infinite chasm
Between intrigue and resolution
Questions poised above expected answers
What I know and see entangles itself
With an unresolved state of being
Words pivot and swerve across diversions
I awake and don't know where I am
I awake and don't know who I am
Familiar yet foreign
Unknowing, unraveling
You walk in the shadows of my perception
You speak with a fondness that I cannot recall
Reeling memories
In a film of our identity
Starring you, watching me
A story unseen
