Tell me Which is You?
In the bitter, wintry winds you stand
Claiming that the pain I inflicted crumbled walls, made them fall
That I left the plains barren, full of chaff and refuse
Yet I have to ask, so many faces you wear, so which one is you?
Led by passion, spurred onward with desire, I came to want you
By what you say, by words that were sweet like honey
And empty like a fresh tomb
I fell headlong like Judas, the entrails of my heart spilt on the ground like the blood of the sacrifice
Yet I found nothing for all that it was worth.
I hung like a Roman Criminal, left to die and to rot and for all to see
Wanting nothing more than Love
Forced to move on, and sorry that I changed seasons without informing you
But with so many faces you wear, I don’t know which is you
Substantial, I stood as my name dragged through tears and much
Muck and pain
Could I bear my soul to be tyrannized by a lovely vixen
Who I could never be sure truly loved me?
Then bury me now in hopes of resurrection, for surely I have more faith in death of romance than the life of pain
Clarity, not blind faith, led me away
And all I could think of
Was which face I would see next?
Tell me, that you wear so many faces, so which one is yours?
