Complicated Human

The lady on the wall 
She smiled and waved
As I recall
Then faded

Maybe it was my imagination
A frame of mind altering the day
The ghost in the room 
Was just a projection of my inner face

And the hardest thing is living 
With the complicated human mind

The man in the hall was just an illusion
An imprint of loss showing through
And all this time I've been seeing the world
With layers of time covering my eyes

And the hardest thing is living 
With the complicated human mind

A figure sitting tall
Not facing me
Turned to heed my call
Then faded
