Imagined Reality

I'd crawl into your skull
But you're still alive
And I'm no ghoul
During the day

I dodged a bullet
But brained my head
Against that brick wall
The bruise is gone
I can still feel phantom pain
Or are my memories
Tearing apart old scars

Disconnection enabled
As only familiars can
It's fine to be this way
Out there alone
I'm drinking again
Are you home
Holding a book
Staring out
Your bedroom window?

Visualize

If I told you the grass is dying
what would you see?

If I said love has died
what scene would you imagine?

If I said I have been born again
what could you see in my heart?

If I look in the mirror
I see a man much like myself

one who appears lost
and found 

one who seems to understand
as much as he does not know
