How is this possible



My mind is blank yet so loud
  How is this possible
 How can I know not of what to say
     Yet there is so much I wish to say
  How can I cry
But know not of why I am
      How can I be with you an hear
  Yet not know what you spoke of
How can you touch me
  But in truth I am anywhere but there
How can I be present
   Yet to all I am but invisible
How can I speak of the same tongue as you
   But you know not of what I am saying
  I look you in the eyes
Yet you see right past me
     How can I cry so loud
  But you seem to not hear my sorrow
Or is it that you no longer care
   That you no longer see me
  An that I have lost my life
Yes
      That must be it
I must have become of bore to you
   I have lost my light
I have stoped looking for my lost light
    Ah this is the answer
The truth is
   I am but death that is in a body
But yet still
   How am I nothing to you
For I have given my all for you
     An you have taken
  Yet I am an shall never be enough for you
  An even tho I know this all
I still but ask
                 How is this possible
