Disappeared
I was once and individual
Sharp and angular
You could see me from a distance
I've learned as I've gone
Picked up life as I went along
Now I'm, well-rounded but I've disappeared
Somewhere between knowledge
Failure and success
I got everything off my chest
And I disappeared
It's only people who decide to love you
That want you to be soft
Calm and patient
Unsafe and available
Guard down and vulnerable but
Who could want a vulnerable man?
Someone out to claim him
Tame until they maim him
It's easier to love him
If you can swallow him whole
Watch me disappearing down the middle of the road
Nothing, to catch me in the cracks
In the cracks lie love's adventure
In the fissures await the gold
I'm in charge of everything
At least that's what I'm told
Everything to everybody
And not true to a single one
Once or twice to you
In a sentence never spoken
Or buried in a poem
Hidden in a piano, of sanded wood
This pen is my confessor
I'll burn it out here on this page
Let the paper soak with rage
While I fade away
Watch me disappearing down the middle of the road
Nothing, to catch me in the cracks
In the cracks lie love's adventure
In the fissures await the gold
I'm in charge of everything
At least that's what I'm told
I am... now
Invisible and uncertain
Engaged by all my fears
I am... now
Indivisible from the curtains
I am the disappeared.
