Anymore

 
He
Is not the same
Anymore
The Gleam in his eyes
Has darkened
When I look
I don’t seem to
See it
Anymore

Replaced by
Nothing
An emptiness that said
Something else is
In store
For all those who look
Into them
Direct

He don’t want to have
Discourse
Anymore
Just in case his words
Cause one to fall
Flat
Onto this hardened
Floor
No use reasoning because
He’s just gonna
Ignore your
Pleas
Of
Let‘s just talk
Looking so strong on
The
Outside
But
Weakness leaking deep
On the
Inside
Of his troubled
Inner
Soul


He just don’t want
To pretend
Anymore
He’s no one’s friend
No sister’s brother
Abandoned by his
Father
He rejects his praying
Mother
All this because his
Hopes and dreams
Were just washed down
The gutter
He point blankly refused
To learn that
The battles lost today
Didn’t necessarily mean
It would stop
The ones to be
Won
In the future
If only
He would just
Maintain

Believe in him self
Putting his pride and
Ego on
The shelf

But he’d rather not
I see it in his eyes
As the simmering light
Gradually stops
No more aglow
Never
To
Return

Anymore
