The Changeling
I am who I am nothing more
I choose who I am when I walk through the door
I could be the girl that you openly adore
I could be the girl who is a total bore
I change as fast as winter to summer
I can freeze you in a glance or make you melt like butter
You still chase me like a hunter after his prize
I dont want you, cant you see the pain in my eyes
The time for us was to short to brief
Like a bolt of lightning we both felt the heat
This was an affair of twof hearts and minds
We both knoew it was just a matter of time
Life moves more quickly than you and I
We drifted apart and were helpless to understand how and why
Take this memory of me and work it around in your mind
Think of me as a toy who is not quite sound
A part missing and always clanking around
I am known as a changeling
A girl with no hear and no mind
Who loves and leaves them on a whim or a dime

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Good thing you did not pass after all.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. All of it. Isn't it amazing how certain images (doors, and for me, birds) find us becoming storytellers? Keep up the writing, too, wowza.
