Random Strangers

Random Strangers

You are the secrets I can’t tell
A lonely, mute taboo
You are the colours I don’t see
Making me feel blue

You are the soft and dewy grass
My feet no longer tread
You are the thoughts of summer’s days
Inhabiting my head

You are each syllable of each word
That I no longer speak
You are the strength deserting me
Making me feel weak

You are my life’s sole energy
The sun upon my skin
And as you slowly enervate
You eat me from within

You are the touch, the taste and smell
Of all that I once loved
You are the memories, hopes and dreams
Now quickly far removed

You are the light that I once held
So dearly in my heart
You are the distance with each day
Keeping us apart

You are the logic and the wisdom
Abandoned now like dangers
For every time you pass me by
We act like random strangers
