Mon Ami

What reference have you for what you say?
Is it the world around us,
or the people we see everyday?

Is it the works of men,
their fictional lives?
Or be it the reality we know
of husbands and wives?

A feeling is not something we can grasp,
so I ask thee to do as I ask,
to close your eyes and look into your heart
and try to ponder if we truly are apart.

Do they blind you,
the blonde and the blue?
So foolish to think
that they look down on you!
Thou art the lady the dead will live for,
and who the brightest of stars adore.

Think not of the world,
and keep this in mind:
We are not like them,
you and I,
for we know the truth
behind the lies
and live sincerely
in our disguise.
