Stranger In My Mind
A warm smile used to penetrate my heart
and the touch of hand gave me a welcoming start.
The faint breeze always refreshed me,
and so did the beauty in nature I used to see.
But the saddest part is when I see you
my feelings are locked away
and saved for another hundred days.
You offer me the warmth of your soul
the connection between us used to be my goal.
My neutral state confuses me as well,
I don’t think of the future, nor on past memories I dwell.
I wish I could reach out to console
but my new perception has ultimate control.
To me you’re just a stranger in my mind.
Our union has been broken,
yet my heart hasn’t spoken.
Not even the lovely words coming from your lips
mean anything at all, I’m trapped in the darkness of a solar eclipse.
Try to move the sun or leave me be,
but without light I’ll never see.
