I did not want you to contradict my blood-soaked earnings.

Yet It flashed as from a different life

none more surprised than I

and reflex searched the mind’s files for a name in perspective

but found none.

At the start a threat to my core

your impartiality my only strength

ceasing the search was self-destruction

to give all my only hope.

Now I look to see your face

but instead find my other part

and reflex searches the mind’s files for a name in perspective

but finds none.
