They Can't Take That Away
A poem about a dream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehMx12dSF6w
The Other had a dream
One changed into someone different
One, an imposter
An enemy from The Other’s past
There are some experiences we never recover from
So, The Other woke up feeling repulsed
The Other accused One of wallowing in self pity
But with the recent patterns in One’s life
There was every reason to be sad
But, The Other was in defence against One’s pretence
Of heart felt appreciation
And The Other is aware of the crimes of One
The memory of One
When they were friends
Will always hold The Other in awe
With One’s hypnotic charm
Did The Other, pick up the energies?
Did The Other awake to an imposter?
Who was of the same intent
As the enemies from the past?
The Other perceived One was no longer as One was
No longer a reciprocity of appreciation
Perhaps just something superficial
Or maybe One, in the past, was just feeling charitable.
To plough a fertile field
As in when The Other was hypnotised by those eyes
While One added another line to One’s scores
And although The Other understands
What was psychically perceived
In regards to how One projected
The false beliefs of the enemies of The Other
But the memory of One
As One used to be
They can’t take that away
