Inscrutable

Look beyond what the eyes see,

And you may see me.

Hear what cannot be heard,

And maybe you will hear me.

Look inside you,
Deeper than you ever did;

Hopefully then you will understand me.

I am shrouded with mists unknown,

The night calls me,

Like a friend old.

You think you know me, 

And yet you don't.

You stare at me,

Ignoring the blankness of the eyes.

You talk to me,

Never taking notice,
Of the grief that the face hides.
You never knew,
When I drifted away,
Leaving behind my empty shell.
You never knew,
How your eyes deluded you.
It pains to know that,
You never knew.
But if you ever want to seek me,
Look beyond the blinding light,
And in the darkness,
You may see me.
