People I've Never Met

People I've never known fill the space

Growing older without you seems like forever

Searching faces till time freezes

But they have no faces, no eyes, no smiles or frowns

I go on like today is my last looking for someone

When I reach the center of the forever budding crowd

I find a well with the word "Escape" in gold letters above

And throw my last coin in and wish to leave

Without an idea of where the wind would take me

I look up into a sky of white

Nothing happens...

I am trapped with people without faces

I look into the well filled with blacken

I stand on the rim and take a last look at the people with faces

Like a sea of people there is no end

I jump into the well and break away from this nightmare

And you never think of me again

The people with no faces get their faces back

When I escape your mind

I am the last thought

To never be thought of again

It can be so easy to forget
