The Other Guy
You're gone...
So distracted...
So occupied...
My soul,
Wanting affection....
My mind,
Needing conversation...
My heart,
Needing love...
You're gone.
So where do I get it?
The other guy...
His words so sweet,
His heart so warm,
His arms so comforting.
My tears fall from my eyes.
With such gentleness, he wipes them away.
In him, I see the old you,
The person I fell in love with.
The other guy...
So loving...
Like the old you...
So loved...
By me.
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
