you do not know me
but you think you do
all the same
you think you are right
but you are not

you said nothing
and that kind of silence speaks volumes
it lets you know
where you stand

i have lived this life
put early days in a grave
sold off relationships
that i should have saved

some people are together
but not together at all
they buy big buildings
so that others look small

they look at me
and think, i am to blame
they never look at their motives
or if they have problems

like nothing mattered
like dreams that become shattered
you know i am fond of you
and no matter what they say

an answer to everything
life repeatedly told
with no purpose and no real prose
