Introductions Are In Order (My Name Is… And Yours?) 3/21/05

I see you through the deeps of darkest lake
And something once again inside me stirs
That says, “Just look away, it’s only fake.

You cannot see, the water surely blurs
And offers falsest proof of what is not.
This heart will only harm you, as did hers.

Just stay inside this haven where it’s hot,
The surface is too cold for you to rive.”
I say, “God Damn this narcoleptic rot,

For I would give my life to feel alive!
I go, though Devil care or Devil cry,
The Bastard will not stop my fatal dive!

I go and hope to Heaven now that I
Might touch your hand at least before I die.”
