We Are
I was calm and quiet
You were kind of wild
I was a little bit crazy
And you would just smile
We were young, we were scared
We were just kids
Who fed off each other
Set each other free
We were everything
We were meant to be
Two people
Two lovers
Two hearts holding on
Until eventually
I was just gone
You were optimistic
I was an idealist
You were getting tired
I was becoming a cynic
I came back
A little less tired
And a lot more crazy
From memories
From misery
Every dream
Gone all wrong
And when I came back
I found you were no long wild
And that I wasn't
Even a child
And both of us
Had forgotten how to smile
Like a child losing
Their teddy bear
We lost each other
You did not even care
I wanted to fight for you
But I did not even dare
Because I wasn't calm and quiet
Just withdrawn and scared
You were no longer wild
Because you would not care
I was a lot more crazy
And even though we wouldn’t smile
I could not forget
That I wasn't a child
We were young, we were scared
We were just kids
You were
I was
We are
Author's note: Read some recently that made me think of this poem. So here it is, in all its angsty glory. Drop a review, ya hear?
