Theme Thursday: Mystery

you work so hard

to act mysterious

to stay out of it

to take no part in it

to not get involved

to not let yourself be affected

to not have to feel

to not have to know

I am trying to figure out what goes on in that head of yours

To me it is a mystery

why act cool when you are burning up inside?

why look away when you should look me in the eye?

why leave, why now, why at all?

to me you are a mystery

and you always have been

I used to think we were so much alike

chasing shadows,

and dreams,

and shadows of dreams,

and dreams of shadows.

But maybe you went on living

and I am the one still chasing shadows?

It is a mystery.
