Have We Met?

Have we met?
I’m not who you’ve known.
I let the despair drown me
And apathy the crop I’ve sown

Memories of someone else
Same name, same face
Masquerading behind a past where I laughed
But long since decayed
My call, I’ve betrayed

My tears have dried
My breaking heart, many times died
My wings, fractured by my side

I am broken
In every sense of the word
I’ve no footing
There is no gravity in my world

Memories of freedom
Like a runner, old and done
Behind closed eyes he still runs
I wonder if my time has gone, not come

My dreams with trace fingerprints
Were for a moment mine
Intoxicating, flirting…and I tried…

Moments flatter
And in them dreams shatter
And everything that really matters
…Lie tattered…strips of me
