Too Long to Be Seen

Is it really appropriate to blind your eyes with
Selfishness? Is it
clear even to your wildest feelings?

I'm not alone
I say each time
And it is quite true.
Yesterday, I was so blind
Today, tomorrow, I do and will

Believe that however, I do feel

Remorse for myself

But the regret is passing

And my solitude increases

And all that they thought would hurt me

I laugh away with my eternal smile

And I say I don't know why.

Unforgiven it might be
The soul whom I dared betray
But what is there more to do
For nothing but a silent fate?
I walk alone, though not lost
For they want to walk beside
The gate is closed, I told them once
And it was enough.
They begged and urged me to speak
The words I should not say
"My mind is one of the only confidents
I trust", and this was quite an end.
