Read Between the Lines

I hear the voice

From distant shores

The distant voice

Must be yours

 

Why then I hear

Unfamiliar tones?

Stranger sounds

Shake my bones

 

Something new

Within your head

Worried reply

To what I said

 

A subtle change

Sends me down

Why so far away

You’ve left my town

 

You remember my number

You recall my name

But your callous reply

Remains not the same

 

On this tide of time

You’re floating away

Was it really you

I spoke to today?

 

Do I know just a one

Of a Jekyll and Hide?

Is a stranger

Hiding inside?

 

Does she come out

When she goes away?

Perhaps it is one

I spoke to today?

 

But the one thing

Which scares me

The one most of all

Starts here with me

Awaiting my fall

 

I think that you know me

I gave me to you

I opened the door

So you could see through

 

I fear you’ve forgotten

Inside what is there

When I ask you to tell me

You simply stare

 

Perhaps you look in

But open no eyes

A tone in your voice

You cannot disguise.
