Will others see me like you did?
Will this be the price of fame?
I do not like who I see now –
Will all of me remain the same?
I fear it isn’t so, never was;
And I do not think it will be –
Even you lied, eventually,
Taking away the best of me.
I wish I had power to be
A man with complete security;
No one to depend on or love:
A replete identity.
Yet, if you lied about your love,
Then your thoughts on me are false, too;
Ergo, I am not incomplete,
Despite the part I gave to you.
And now, how they all do laugh:
Green-eyed ones who envied me,
When we three played together –
Now, how they revel in glee!
I was secure to not change
Aspects of identity –
That now seem so very strange,
Since I’ve lost serenity.
I wander lost, through each day,
And family worries, too;
But I just can’t put away
The old rules that seem so true.
So, spectators watching laugh.
In a baffled mind, comes shame.
They’ll warn on some cenotaph:
Dreamers like him fail the game.
As the sun wakes,
Thunder and lightning
Blanket his face
And shut his shining.
Might as well!
This day will be the same:
Where I suffer our love –
And you forget my name.
