The Man I Was

[The Anti-Man]

The Man I Was

It was a cold and nervous day
When you took me by the hand
And now I'm worried what you would say
Would you ever understand?

If you saw me
Would you recall me?
Am I such a different man?
The years have been unkind
To my body and my mind
Did you even like me?

It was a cold and joyous day
When you took me by the hand
And you taught me what hands are for
So I couldn't even stand

If you saw me
Would you abhor me?
Am I such a different man?
You never came again
And I never felt the same
But you didn't even like me!

What has become of me?

I used to have a life
I'd cry whenever puppies died
But now I just don't care
I used to dream
But now I'd never dare

Why do some memories fade away
Whilst others are determined to stay?
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Why did my life just fade away
In utter silence since that day?
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

That numb grey place isn't a nice place to be, I know I have been there too often, sometimes the man inside hasn't actually died, you just ket go of who you think he was and will be amazed by who he turns out to be. I felt a lot of emotion in this piece, emotion hidden between the lines. Thank you for posting this!

So much emotion put into this and yet so many questions it makes you ask yourself,, even if your not a man
