The Other

You don’t know me at all
If you did, I would make your skin crawl
I hide away in a facade of dreams
Waking at night to my own screams

I am tortured and torn to no end
I am strung together in one crazed blend
I hate you all for hating me
You’re all against me don’t you see
No one shares the feelings I do
No one knows me, not even you
I am a loner in a world of pain
I am driven, driven insane
So much hate built inside
So much hate bursting wide
I am more different than anyone can imagine
Utterly, Entirely, reeking with Sin
I am me, but not what you see
Hiding away in Darkness so clearly
Darkness, Death, that is what I am
I am the real, Other Graham
I am the Other
Not born of any mother
I am the escape
Whose soul I rape
I am there
Thicker than air
But see me you don’t
Hear me you won’t
But still I am here
Ever so near
Listen to me, I tell you the truth
Listen harder now, for I am a sleuth
I hide inside of the one you call Graham
I am He and He is what I am
Listen to me
Listen closely
They are all against you
Enough is enough, now You’re through
Don’t take any more
Show them the door
Retreat back to me
To the real place where you can see
Come back again, as you once were
Just as you did when there was no other
None to help you, None to care
Come back to me, if you dare
I’ll show you the world, I’ll show you the way
Come back to me, Come and Play
I’ll take you in, understand you too
Trust me, Graham, You know what to do
A shadow I am
More than a Man
Here but not
Ageless without rot
Always waiting, never away
Waiting for you to accept my day
I am still here, I am the Other
Closer in relation than your own brother
“I Am Here, What do You want?
What is it in my life that you haunt?”
Run away, Graham, Far, far away
Hate me, drive me, Farther away
I am rejected
Again dejected
But still I await
For the date
When you will accept
Your true debt
And gather you in
Away from the spin
And hear your screams
As you do in your dreams
I’ll take you away to a place another
Beware, Graham, I am the Other.
