The Man Who Was Not There

Today I sat and talked to the man who was not there
Alone in the dark but he was there
By myself in the mirror I did stare with him looking back
The man who was not there
Yesterday he was named happiness
tomorrow he will be despair
But today he is just the man who is not there
So for now I just sit upon the stairs
Talking to the man who is not there
Completely unaware that it is me who is not there
