M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

Im Not Myself Here Anymore

House to home, then back again
We turned from lovers into friends
And this bed feels even colder
When you lay down

Its like our smiles have turned around
On every picture in this house
And I know you’ll feel the blow
If I go

I’m not myself here anymore
You’re like a wall that I talk to
You keep slamming the door
I once thought I loved you
Now I’m not so sure
I’m not myself here anymore

I’ve sacrificed my own paradise
Cause living without love is no kind of life
I’d much rather sleep or do all the chores
I’m not myself here anymore 

I’m not myself here anymore
You’re like a wall that I talk to
You keep slamming the door
I once thought I loved you
Now I’m not so sure
I’m not myself here anymore

The only reason we stay
Is to keep a smile on one face
I’m not myself here anymore 

I’m not myself here anymore

John Hamilton October 3, 2020 at 7:03 PM Hey M.P I heard a melody right away as I read aloud the lyrics, I relate totally as I'm sure many do, well done!!

Poet Destroyer A October 3, 2020 at 7:20 AM Wow, that was impressive, sounds like something I can relate to. I felt a person locked I'm their own mind. I too settled in life, however I'm more than just a slave to others, or am I? Oh, well, this is a very good write. Hope to read more from you. Linda
