2 ways to lose yourself

amnesia

blue
on blue
on white
hue
upon hue
upon sight
rings
upon rings
upon light
concentric circles
spinning
and grinning
spark with delight
i see
my own face
know it not
i see
to your soul
mine forgot
your eyes
hold the whole
of the world
i'm
just a boy
seeing girl
universes
dance and tremble
and collide
for i
can count stars
through your eyes.

How can I be forgiven
When your blood still stains my clothes?
When your face still haunts my vision
And your eyes stare through my soul?
How can I e'er be shriven
When I remain the one to blame
When I cannot shake this shame
When I cannot forget the same?
How can I have I name?
How can I have a name
When I don't know my own mind
When I've forsaken you for my own kind
As I'm drifting through this paradigm
How can I have a name?
How can I claim I saw your face
When I know I'm still the same,
When I still play this dang'rous game
And make blasphemy my claim?
How can I be named
If I cannot face my faults
If I'm too afraid to bare my path
With it's stutterings and halts?
How can a wayward soul be tamed?
And how can I ever be forgiven
If I cannot be named?
