Love Poem: The Man

The Man

There used to be a man in the body
One that was strong and smiled
One day she broke his heart
He was never again the same
He wants to find his old self
And doesn't even remember his name

He was once kind and giving
Knowledgeable and smart
But she took all that
And ripped his world apart

Deep down I hope he is still there
For a second his heart could see
The world for it's every color
I wish that man could be set free

Under the skin
Under the pain
Deep under
He is still sane

There used to be a man in the body
One that was strong and smiled
One day she broke his heart
He was never again the same
He wants to find his old self
And doesn't even remember his name

And as far as he has fell
He's still falling
As much as he's hurt
The pain won't fade
He is still drowning in the current
And can no longer wade

There used to be a man in the body
But as anyone can now see
He is long gone
My spirit has left me
