"Is it you, my love,

Who stands in the doorway,

Dressed in your working suit,

Inviting the cold winter wind

Into this Haven?"

My lost glasses taunt me

As the blurry shape steps closer.

"Tis not he, your lover,

That steps through this wooden door,

Drawing warmth from this Haven

In my Uniform."

My lost glasses taunt me

As the blurry shape steps closer.

"Is it you, my love,

Whose arms reach out to me

As the radio clicks off,

That faulty radio?"

I think of cruel jokes

As my lost glasses taunt me

And the blurry shape steps closer.

"Tis not he, your lover,

Who stretches out his arms

To coax you into eternal sleep,

Turning off that radio,

That newly-wrought radio."

My lost glasses taunt me

As the blurry shape steps closer.

"Is it you, my love,

Who dons a tan cap,

Hiding his chestnut hair,

Thi ridge covering your handsome face?"

I fight the terror of sleep

As my lost glasses taunt me

And the blurry shape steps closer.

"Tis not he, your lover,

That was old from the beginning of existence,

Who banished faulty human senses

From his form."

My lost glasses taunt me

As the blurry shape steps closer.

"Is it you, my love,

Who seems so tall,

As the sun's last rays

Deceive my ailing eyes?"

My aching head spins

As my lost glasses taunt me

And the blurry shape steps closer.

"Tis not he, your lover,

Who's form deceives the sunlight's rays,

Who is tall for reason none,

Other than this is the form I take."

My lost glasses taunt me

as the blurry shape steps closer.

And he reaches me.

"Tis not you, my love,

Who taunts me in this way,

And hears my final question;

Why have I been chosen

When there are others more deserving

Of such a fate?"

My lost glasses taunt me

As I find them in my breast pocket

A minute too late.

"Tis not he, your lover,

Who has answered all asked of him,

And answers one more..."

My soul burns

And my head spins,

My eyes die

And only my ears are left when

The Suited Man says,

"Why not?"
