Shadow Puppets

Odd the dream, makes me the subject
of someone else's fantasy
That I don't find out until I see
Him looking back at me
Glazed eyes remembering our Synaptic connection
Eyes avoiding his gaze direction
Same dream I had a few days before this
Ending abruptly awakened by kiss.

Odd the photo that I'm in the background of
someone elses's memory
saved for a lifetime in an old man's scrapbook
Wasn't trying to see me
glazed eyes remembering his long lost wife
centered in a photo of another man's life
Same thoughts I'd have if I lost my own love
Ending abruptly, all love is tough

Odd this life, I need to escape from
alone with a man, I don't love
That I don't realize until it's too late
Lost inside his twisted fate
Dead eyes remembering the moments of passion
Fearing the pain of another reaction
moments of living up to his bizarre expectations
love is up to interpretation
