The Fourth Riddle

 The Fourth Riddle

I’m a whisper on the wind

A thought held deep within

Imprinted on your bones

I won’t ever let you go


I know your name

I don’t forget anything

By design, I hide

The truth from sight


Hush, shush

Don’t rush

They don’t know yet

Try to keep me quiet

Be silent

They might buy it


I’m embedded in your mind

Entrenched inside

How do you sleep each night?

Worried they’re nearby


This train is a one way trip

But did you want a ticket?

Oh, you can’t get off

Until the end of the line


Hush, shush

Don’t rush

They don’t know yet

Try to keep me quiet

Be silent

They might buy it


Hush, shush

Don’t rush

They don’t know yet

Try to keep me quiet

Be silent

You can still deny it


You are a prisoner of mine

A prisoner in your mind

I won’t ever let you go

I control everything

I’ll follow you to the grave


Shhh

Don’t talk

Be Someone

When I shut my eyes And hold them tight The colors flash In my head so bright A whirlwind swirls The ocean’s waves A tide that’s fierce The sun’s sharp rays I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Each day unfolds Going through these motions Attempts to care To be sane and well Not in a self-made hell Tired and spent Cracked and dry Lines forming on my hands Around my eyes I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Can you be someone Will you be enough Should we stay this way Too distant and far away Am I still the one You love Are y...
