  • I lent my name to a well dressed man

     

    Since then I no longer remember, exactly, who  I am.

     

    I used to know just who I was, but lately, I’m never sure.

     

    Since I lent my name to that well dressed man,

     

    Strange things have begun to occur.

     

    When I answer my phone or open my mail, It’s never a message for me.

     

    But just a mysterious statement, for the person I used to be.

     

    When I look in a mirror I see a strange face.

     

    It’s a riddle I cannot unfold.

     

    The well dressed man holds the answer.

     

    But the answer will never be told.
