She said she’d be true to me
My heart and my soul;
I cried for her words when
She told me the whole
The truth of her pain showed
Through cracks in her face
I knew if I touched her
We’d never embrace
–
Is it just my mind?
Is it just a reflection
Unkind
Can it be that she’s mine?
Can it be that she’s lost to me
–
Souls cry out, their voices lifted to the wind
Her tears are breaking me
As I stare!
–
I caught her reflection
In the morning’s glare
I saw her standing
Saw her wearing my hair
Her eyes were mine
Her eyes were all mine
Her lips were full
And I shattered that
Lie
Shattered it
and she
Died
–
Is it just my mind?
Is it just my imagination
No.
She’s not just my mind…
She must be…
–
The tears I’ve shed for her
Rain down my cheeks
I know her death is real
It shows in the red that
Leaks
Down through my fingers-
Onto the cold broken plain
Down past my palm and
Onto the grain
Of the sand…
–
She must be me…
I can feel it in my bones,
And she is me.

Non-traditional song/poem without that hated ABAA format that seems to be the norm these days. I dunno what drove me to write it, but it’s here, so I may as well share! I write a lot of stuff that I don’t know if I should share, but today I don’t really care. I’d rather just write it out. Just write it and let go of it.
So here it is. If you can find a tune for it, that’d be awesome. I’m thinking about what would go with it. I tried singing it and didn’t get very far. I’ll see about putting it to music and maybe sticking the recording up here. This goes into the poetry section, I guess? I don’t write songs, in case that wasn’t totes obvious. They’re just like poems with a tune, right? RIGHT?!
