How interesting
This all seems
How very different
This life is to me

Change is on the horizon
A different tune is playing in my head
Quite a switch, indeed
I’ve been living too long

There once was a Me
There once was I
I lost Me a long time ago
To someone I called Love

Love was an interesting fellow
I enjoyed Love’s company
And Love said she admired mine
And I believed Love, for she had never led me wrong

But, alas, Love was a rudimentary figure
To what lingered in her shadow
I never did see the darkness there
Until one day when it enveloped me

I think I fell apart
But I am not sure
There is no way to tell
I have been left blind

I know I lost my sight
And I know I lost my heart
Love ate out these objects
And spit them back in my face

But I know for sure that love
Robbed me of one thing I cannot have returned
I know the ultimate loss
Was Love’s theft of my dignity

I know this land is unforgiving
And there is no mercy to be had
I live in a listless slumber
Contorted in connotations too evil to profess
