Changes

I stared at the sky, and all was clear.
Not a dark cloud in sight.
And yet, why is my cheek wet?

Gazing unflinchingly, I seem to challenge tomorrow
To come and do its worst
But rivulets fall from my eyes, belaying my true feelings

I walk down a noisy hallway
People surrounded me, waving and saying hello
And yet, I feel like I'm more alone than I have ever been

Hands reach out, to touch, to grab
Disguised as intimacy, these gestures violate me
And yet, disgusted as I feel, I smile and wave

I speak kind words to people I barely know,
But I snap at the people closest to me
I wish to change, but cannot. I'm confused.

A new day dawned,
I gaze and fall upon large chocolate eyes
I cling to sanity, and yet, at the last moment, I let myself fall.

Warmth seeps to my very core
Forcing me to open up in ways I never dared to consider
And yet, the pressure isn't threatening. It encourages.

I walk down a lonely pathway,
There is no one to greet me but the two persons beside me
And yet, as my hand touches hers, I feel content

I stared at the sky, and all was wet
Not a patch of ground was dry
And yet, a smile covers my face.

She has changed me…
