behind that mirrored glass
there is a soul,
a forgotten mind
wanders endlessly
over one truth.
she ceaselessly knocks
trying to awaken
it in you but
you cannot see her,
you need only see yourself
you are absorbed enough
to think that you are complete,
you aren't,
not without the truth.
the girl in your head
skips unheedingly passed
an alleyway,
one that leads to truth.
she says that there is
no need to waste sight on
a seemingly empty alleyway,
again,
when you look truth in the eye
you cannot see it
you have sight but are blind,
blinded by your own human,
there is not enough dream
in your blood.
