Keeping Me Guessing
by
chibilunacat


If you were to check on me
I'd be laughing just the same,
For some reason I can't tell you it hurts,
Or what lie beyond my name.

They say a person is their name,
Or a title there instead,
But how do you title beyond the living,
Or come to know a person who is dead?

They say they can't tell me of you,
And I can find it in know book,
I must be content with what I have-
To listen, feel, and look.

How do you embrace the moving,
Those who are not here?
Do you encompass within a dream-
What in live you'd cower from with fear?

I cannot seem to find a name,
Or a title to belong-
I can only guess it's random,
The repeating chorus of a song.

I can't quite figure what it's for,
Or simply what it's worth-
It's a never ending, winding cycle,
What we call our "rebirth."

Are you simply saying then
That I do not exist?
Can I tally up the reasons,
Shall I further insist?

I can feel you, and myself-
But I have lost my sight,
The grasp I had is slick and failing,
And figures have clouded out the light.

I must ask and always wonder-
What it is you need from me,
A hug, an ear, someone close or there-
Pleas tell me what I need to know, to be.

You seem to wholly encompass me-
From near and yet so far,
You seem to be keeping me guessing-
At why and who you are.

So we'll drop it for now,
Until I go to sleep;
Until I dream of you again,
I bid you, my secrets, to keep.
