Old friend of mine
I offer you a greeting
So much time has passed
Since our last meeting
You seem so very different
I feel out of place
So much else has changed
Yet you still hide your face
Surely you don’t still blame yourself
For that tragedy, long ago
You seem to think that mask of yours
Will allow you to let it go
But I know the truth
Despite all your strife
To hide the fact that your only lover
Took her own life
You think a new identity
Will correct past mistakes?
Then reveal yourself to me and
See the difference that it makes.
Lacking all Sincerity
and Meddling with HostilitY
