You seem different lately

You seem different lately
Resolved
Like you won’t dare budge
Because whatever it is
That thing you’ve decided
You’re now instead
Resolute
That’s exactly what you are
And it’s interesting
Because I thought you were doing
Just fine
You know – the way you were before
Funny thing is
You’d never admit
You’ve changed
That you’re anything different
Than what you’ve always been
But I see through
All that nonsensical jibber jabber
And you have changed
I know it
I see it
Because I know you
So believe it
Or not
Because I know you like to believe
What you believe
You seem different lately
And you are

Under his spell
She fell
She drank

An affair of the heart
In ruin
She sank

Torpedoes dispersed
She tried
To veer

But in the end
The outcome
Was clear

There are no shortcuts
Only resolve
But it’s love
That will see us through

Rediscovering you…

When I read your words
All those wonderfully inspired words
A sense of longing and desire
Pulls me straight to you

As hard as I sometimes try
I can never deny your existence
Your words they come alive
Because you live in every one

I absorb you
All of you
Drink you in
And the filter
Never changes
