άγνωστος

Who are you?

I can see your eyes

Both known and unknown

And I know

I’ve seen them before

Somehow I know

Those eyes meant something

But I see a stranger

I don’t know who you are

Who am I?

I cannot be the same

Not the one I used to be

For I look into the mirror

And for the first time in a life

I almost like what I see

Perhaps because I know

That he who I stares at me

Is about to leave

Who are you?

I hear your voice so clear

But still cannot say your name

For you sound just like her

But the words, the feeling

Is not there at all

For she spoke music

And all I hear from you are lies

Driving me insane and sad

Who am I?

I used to be fire and burn and shine

My heart pushed boiling blood

Through what once were ember veins

And even melt a cuirass to get a smile

But now there remains only a shape, a shadow

Filled with black, dry ice

And the one who was to help me live again

Is not there anymore, a stranger took her place

So say, who are we?

None of the two of us is known to me

You took her shape but not her soul

I’ve lost what defined my being

Your voice is much alike but there’s no word for me

I have no reason to go on, no dream to achieve

Your smile wounds the remaining pieces of my memories

I’ve come to see the truth of fate

My loved stranger, we’re both so lost and unaware…
