Something Within

Something within , that was, just died
thought 'she' would fill-in straight away
If all is fair in love and war
why does someone always get hurt ?
when I left me, I really cried.

Did not expect to take a day
why then did it, take 'I' so long?
I don't confess my love for you
something within.

What funny twist of fate did say
to drain the 'him' away with song
so love is hidden, with my pride
your friendship is more important
that I sill like women "that way"
something within.

Elizabeth alexander            21/3/2016

I am left feeling foolish that I denied my true self for so long
(six decades),I mentally found it hard to accept 
that I was in the wrong body.
did anyone even notice the even meter ?

Hey Beth, sorry to hear that. I know less about this website then you and it doesn't make sense to me that the help desk folks would respond to someone reporting something on behalf of someone else. This site feels very complicated to me as a whole so I am going to stick with allpoetry.com. I do send thoughts to you for support, as you figure out how to address the issue you are having. Thank you for the explanation about even meter.
