Don't you recognize me? My love, it is I

This face is mine, but don't you ever ask why

These eyes do not shine as bright

As they used to when I look at you every night?

Don't you recognize me?  My love, how could you? 

You gaze upon me so intently as if you knew

The darkest secrets I unwillingly keep

Yet you still bury it in your sleep

Don't you recognize me?  I want to scream

Wishing this is just a frightening dream

As your body presses against my skin 

These lips curl up with a devilish grin

Do you recognize me?  My love, I am not here

Even though my hands draw you near 

Do you not shiver from my touch

Even with the slightest brush?

Don't you find it eerie

That my manner has been the same but dreary? 

Do you recognize me?  I pray that you don't

I want you to take me away, embrace me

Give me your warmth, but I pray that you won't

My love, this is not me

Do you hear me? Listen to me and not your heart

Let your love for me break apart

If it means you could finally see

That this woman, she is not me
