There's a mystery I must solve,

Before in the mist it dissolves.

Around and round it I revolve,

And before my eyes it evolves.

That enigma assumes your shape,

Your foggy figure assembles.

In the middle of a dreamscape,

Appears a soul who resembles

Someone familiar. A friend, maybe even me.

Certainly, I have found the awaited answer,

And my mirrored image presents me with the key

To his sweet secret self, to my Doppelgänger.

So we commence to fuse, in a soft synthesis,

In an ethereal, serene symbiosis.

'Till you slowly, calmly dissolve.

'Till your complete dissipation.

And I'm unable to absolve

The world of your disparition.

Powerless, I'm forced to witness

The last breath of an artless smile.

With the silence of my likeness,

And no more mystery that's worthwhile,

I meander somewhere remote,

Alone, with no place to call home.

My numb flesh somehow keeps afloat,

And I roam. And I roam and roam.
