Doppelganger
The self has many moods and tenses
The soul, a wholly other kind
Mismatched like good intentions
The heart misunderstands the mind
When you came into existence
A former dream you left behind
An alter ego in the distance
Belonging to another time
Looking through clouded lenses
What do you expect to find
In the end you'll lose your senses
Ears and eyes deaf and blind
Without guides or quick defenses
You wither waiting for a sign
You mustn't be dead against it
It shines a light on what you hide
Sometimes you can feel its presence
An essence like the scent of wine
Lingering beyond the present
Parting as you intertwine
