Just not the same

Just not the same

A Poem by 23rdstar

Maybe i'm more mad than they know or that i'm willing to really say

But since the day that you left I haven't been the same

Loosing track of the days and the years as they slip away

And walking the streets looking in the eyes of people for something that we had

Something that made me honest and good

I rested my head against the warmth of your bosom

Without a doubt knowing that in your arms i'd be safe

Against a millon horrors and the pain

Who would have known how wrong I could have been

You gave me a reason to look at the sky

A reason to be true and never lie

But how we suffered anyway

Through our lack of foresight and wisdom

You said that you would never stop loving me

And how often did I sit at your feet looking up

Like a child that you had taken as husband and lover

But as always the dream will tear

And the reality of the game will show through

I kissed you on that rain slick street

The sunset fading from purple to black

As you rode away

And now that you are gone i'm not the same

Looking in people's eyes for what you seemed to give
