How is this possible
My mind is blank yet so loud
How is this possible
How can I know not of what to say
Yet there is so much I wish to say
How can I cry
But know not of why I am
How can I be with you an hear
Yet not know what you spoke of
How can you touch me
But in truth I am anywhere but there
How can I be present
Yet to all I am but invisible
How can I speak of the same tongue as you
But you know not of what I am saying
I look you in the eyes
Yet you see right past me
How can I cry so loud
But you seem to not hear my sorrow
Or is it that you no longer care
That you no longer see me
An that I have lost my life
Yes
That must be it
I must have become of bore to you
I have lost my light
I have stoped looking for my lost light
Ah this is the answer
The truth is
I am but death that is in a body
But yet still
How am I nothing to you
For I have given my all for you
An you have taken
Yet I am an shall never be enough for you
An even tho I know this all
I still but ask
How is this possible
