why so mysterious?
so caught up in ones brain
why so distant?
distracted and distracting the same
i can't help but wonder
with your quietness so confusing
i can't help but question
to find your truths through calculated thoughts
caught off guard and vulnerable
locked into your pleasing awe
naivety turned into maniacal judgements
scrutinizing and losing of fun
wishing to return to moments of the unaware
enjoyments and comments of ease
for knowledge and wishing of more
too torturous for the unanswered
no fault but mine
for i let it all slip from my grasp
slipping and stumbling back up icy rocks
to the dirt path that once knew my way
for i naively thought i'd veered with another
but the further along the uncharted territory i got
the more alone and foolish i felt
whether he meant to follow or lead
is not here nor there
the fact that i stand all alone
is the real proof that it wasn't true to begin with
as i find my way back to my path
i clean off my muddy boots
and focus stubbornly ahead
i may always choose to follow the stray blue jay
and i may always look back with a slight frown
however i rest strongly in my belief that just once..
..that blue jay may turn out to be me.
