I am not the same as I used to be

 

I am not the same as I used to be.

I evolved to a new breed – cunning and cold.

I am not the same as I used to be,

I turned into a piece of ice –  beautiful and fragile,

But in nature what looks delicate is the vicious killer,

Merciless soul, no heart, pure surviving skills.

I am not the same as I used to be,

I remember the painful past,

The glimpses of the blinding light,

The forbidden darkness’ kisses,

The exhausting talks with the inner demons,

And the quarrels with the angels weak.

I can truly guarantee history won’t repeat itself,

I remember everything.

I keep the tokens of the previous lives,

I relieve the hidden memories every time I close my eyes.

My body keeps aching when I go back to those moments,

Vivid paintings of an artist unknown.

My soul vibrates with the sorrows and laughs from the past times of what I used to be,

She is no more – just a shadow lurking behind my back.

Her voice is so distant, never comes any closer.

Her music is that nostalgic sound from what is left behind,

I can barely hear the melody composed in the moments of unwanted weakness.

I am not the same as I used to be,

The heart is hardening; noone I believe.

The loneliness of past tense is the wanted present friend.

The future is unsure; why should I worry?

The darkness of the fragile mind and the innocence forgotten long ago

Keep creating moving stories, filling eyes with tears.

I am not the same as I used to be,

My angel and my demon merged into one face

And that face is ME.
