I found someone,
Sweet gentle loving and kind
Who lived in a world he hated
That he hadn’t created
And I took him out and showed him things
Things that were important to me
Art and nature and music and thought
And he said thank you for opening my mind
For helping me, for listening when no one else would.
He found someone,
And I was glad
He could open his heart to her and share
All the love he’d kept hidden inside
And she loved him,
And I was glad,
Because he was loveable
Sweet gentle loving and kind
But she was hurt herself inside,
Full of broken glass
And she cut him, hurt him, and changed him
And now all the words he has for me
Is I hate you
He smiles when others are around
And walks away when they aren’t.
He wears the same face,
Smiles the same smile,
And I look at him and think:
He’s the same, and I still care
But it’s not true,
And who he is now makes everything else he said a lie
Where is the person who was
Sweet gentle loving and kind?
