Change
Something changed, maybe it's the way you look at me now
A sore inside your throat with words you can't shout
The realization of change in your eyes
The hurt that speaks from your mouth
Words you can't say
Things you don't mean
Fear that cripples
Eyes that hauntingly stare
You say to me with despair
A new heart made out of gold, a new word that cuts you the most
A table turned
Things you thought you had moved on from
A person that still lurks in the back of your head
You thought you had forgotten
But you didn't
you can't even admit it
You still get flashbacks from things you don't want to remember
You try to forgive and forget
But the only thing forgotten was
what changed

What inspired me to write "Change," was the fact that I wanted to reflect and explore how I view transformation and change in my life. The poem commences with my observation of change in the way someone else looks at me, leading to an increased awareness of the impact of change in my life.I face difficulty in expressing the emotions associated with change and I wanted to know why, this poem was the product of my thoughts turned into words.
