Would you recognize me?

Without the sorrow stinging all I see –

The coldness of my touch,

surely, I couldn't be such;

Could you realize how it would be?

To see this heart of mine undisguised,

deserting my past, determined to the future,

older and wise;

In ways: I am trapped here in this time of pain,

need some break in between –

Seeps its' way through the veins,

a fact easier to believe, than to perceive....

maybe, I will escape in time,

or tragically remain;

Underneath the surface: become into who I am to be –

you'd only assume that I was fine,

As this assorted desire to be loved; to be of need,

some way there is still a hole inside,

overwhelmingly so,

fighting with how I feel; do I retreat? and let go?

The mirrored image doesn't conceal,

someone I barely recognize,

Seemingly unreal,

But in all it is me, and it's of two shades that shall collide;

And that's everything.... no feeling.... no thoughts.... no pain – the right of mine,

all it comes down to is the changes of time.
