Changes

a poem by thenorm

I thought

If only I had

Patience,

Things Would Change.

Be different, somehow.

I thought

If only I could give

If only I could be stronger,

Perhaps you would See

And things

Would Surely Change.

I hoped that these shadows

Playing on the Shore

Were only shadows

And nothing more.

It isn’t that I don’t care;

Don’t love you anymore.

I do.

But I can’t go on –

No, We Can’t Go On.

Not like this.

Things must surely change.

Or I’ve got changes

I need to do for me.
