Things are Different Now.

We can't believe in what we can't see

Always needing proof to find destiny 

We walk past each other and I can't believe 

It's come down to this, this unfair misery 

'Cause you can promise you'll never go,

But no one really stays forever 

Look at your watch and start to wonder

How much time it takes to forget her 

Now, I've walked down that road 

What seems like too many times 

And I've found that even in darkness 

There's always sunshine 

Oh, look at us, we've lost ourselves 

Keep trying to be somebody's somebody else

We fooled our minds into thinking we're ready 

When our heartbeats tell us that they're not even steady 

But I've now found a cure, a melody

To keep us apart, you and me 

I'll drain the good times, my memory 

And tell myself that this is how is has to be 

The sun still shines when you're not near

The black, midnight skies are still starry and clear 

There's music in my heart that replaces the fear 

The world keeps moving when you're no longer here 

Author's Note

I know this is jumbled. I know parts don't flow well. It's old, and it all kind of came out at once.

Reviews

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Who needs perfect flow... poetry is about emotions and emotions never flow perfectly...

I really like this part:

Oh, look at us, we've lost ourselves
Keep trying to be somebody's somebody else
We fooled our minds into thinking we're ready
When our heartbeats tell us that they're not even steady

Very well done.

Actually, not as bad as you say. I would just break up some of the stanzas. Maybe resequence a few depending on the meaning you want to convey. I think I get what you're trying for here. Definitely hit me with a "read request" if you make any changes:)
