the change in me...

I never felt it coming
I never saw it happening
Its loud footsteps... ... never indulged... my hearing.
The world cried around me
The skies were torn around to see
For all that had been... ... I thought... it just had to be.
In the gaping eyes that live here
The forbidden smiles scream somewhere
These took me to a distant land... ... none of my known... there.
I now feel something inside
In my soul does someone else reside
He now leads me astray... ... in my shame... gleams its pride.
I kneel today to him
With grief filled till the brim
I realize how change feels... ... around a torn soul... a tattered seam.
