Enigma
8/23/98                                                                     

I’m frigid and I’m stone dead
While I carry on as the unknown
Into a baffling riddle in your brain

I’m crude and a tasteless fool
While I stare into the dirt
To question all your answers

I don’t know how nobody noticed
Even when I unfolded my trust

I choose to live on
Because a cause pulls my faith up
While my eyes slowly leak

I don’t know why they didn’t love me
Or even want me in around the keep

So I become a cold plague and a worthless dead
To be living with the constant pain
While all thoughts of me rapidly fade

I don’t belong in any photo album
Or need a memo in your daily planner

Just try to keep me in your memory
But if it all goes without your hold
Then I should live on as the unknown
