Altered Reality



I don't want to call back time
keeping pace with my heart
tracing forms and specific creations
still trapped in some altered universe
though I'm just a myth
I should crave to hear every word from
your lips, yet it's the opposite
and you should
dine within my heart
where every dream given
you listens to as if an art
but your absent minded implications
cause you to think they mean nothing at all
and in conclusion, I feel empty
I need a soul who encompasses me
so in your blind infinite disbelief
I'll be someone you can not see
your words will become invisible like
air they'll float right on by me
watching as you disappear completely
