She looks at me
I look at her
She sets me free 
I am the cure

She gives a smile
I send my own
She stays a while 
I set the tone 

We make a dream
A flawless plan 
We find the gleam
And join our hands 

We walk the aisle 
They laugh and cry
We walk a mile
No reason why

The kids will grow
We set the pace
Our love will show
This sacred place

But deep inside
I'll hide the lie
This isn't mine
I'll slowly die

The kids will grow
And so will we
We'll get real old
And tell good stories

But as I look
Into her eyes
She sees the book 
It's hollow lies 

She's see the life
The one we share 
We see the knife 
My lifeless stare 

I'm letting them go
Their joy and tears
At least I will know
I won't let her near

So I walk away
And she does the same 
The moment slowly decays 
And we find ourselves a new name

We smile to ourselves 
Cause now we know
Somehow we show
We'll never be the same 

Never be the same...

[Listening to "Pyro" by Kings of Leon]

Jan Allison October 5, 2014 at 2:15 PM I interpret this poem as someone living a lie in the wrong body and finally admitting what they really want and undergoing the change -hope I have interpreted it correctly - great deep write with good imagery:-) hugs Jan xxx Laura Dee October 5, 2014 at 6:54 PM Yeah you actually hit it pretty close! It's about being transgender. And seeing girls that are attracted to me. Knowing that I can't be what they want me to be
