The Differents

The Differents

(September 12, 2010)



The photographs lined his wall

A woman

A beautiful smile

Captures of joy

Trappings of love

He walked out and I said

"you still love her"

Pain stung the air and

I wish I hadn't said it

He looked down

To the ground

I didn't even know him

Not even his name



I touched her shoulder and

I watched her eyes dilate

Her fears run away

Peace overcame her

She didn't even know me

Not even my name



I felt that tear fall

Falling rolling on my skin

But it's not my own

It fell

A thousand miles away

It's not mine

But it falls on my skin



I looked into his eyes

I recognized him

From a different time

I welcomed his soul

His soul walked into mine

Again



I'm glowing

They all say I'm glowing



I needed sunlight and

The sunlight came into place



In agony I lifted my face

To the Heavens and

Clouds of gray were born



I was sitting on the sidewalk when

He came up to me and said

"you are different, very different"

He didn't even know me



If he only knew how different
