do you boast a faith
strong enough
to feel..

the years as they
flash forth

for their final
release?

it may come
as little surprise
..

i’m not prepared
to tender

my
goodbyes.

“is it you?”
they pause to ask
..

and I can’t shake
the question,

but don’t respond the
way they’d
like
..

just tellin’
it true,

“what’s it to you?”

“what side do you need to show?”

“which me do you really want to know?”
