Abstract Reflections By Paul Wilson Suppose I wasn’t who you thought I was would I become a stranger in your eyes After all we’ve been thru together could you ignore my selfish lies Each day a new heartache is born thru it all wanting to tell you Honesty consumed within my heart by lies hoping we could start anew I never meant to hurt you choices made before I knew why Skeletons in my closet... afraid to open the door living another lie Turn away from the person you thought you knew I’m just a stranger …I don’t even know me One day I’m happy…the next I’m sad trying to be who I’m not is killing me Who do I think I’m fooling why play this deceitful game Thoughts of yesterday fill my mind when I was known by another name Mirror reflects an image that will never set me free Face of a stranger standing there Staring…staring back at me ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

Paul, on my second read through ~ I was actually singing your moving mots as lyrics! I swear, your poem would make a great country song! ![]() Loving hug, Linda ![]() |

I totally agree and the last stanza could sure be the chorus. Nicely done Paul. |

Dear Paul, these are very profound reflections ... we are larger than we might suspect and we contain more than we may grasp ... smile at your mirror and you will recognize yourself, your true self, your higher self, it's always there and it is magnificent. Beautiful write and thought provoking. Love, Margherita |

Well. I'm puzzled. (consider it sweet revenge? ![]() But I have no idea what I did to inspire such soul-searching, because I am reading it as that, Paullie, because if I read it literally there's gonna be some PAULLIE searching going on. There's a Paullie, right? RIGHT? *laughing* There'd better be! ![]() ![]() I lubs ya! |

Linda...I never thought of it as a song, but I have to admit i've heard worse. Thanks so much fo your insight and your reply...Paul Mysteria...Thank you as well for agreeing with Linda. Maybe I need to try and change some things around and try the song bit. I really appreciate hearing from you. Take Care...Paul Margherita...Your replies are always so heart touching. I believe you have a view within my soul that few have. Thanks bunches for reading and your thoughtful reply...Paul Karen...Puzzled...confussed...you the one person that understands me more than I understand myself. So if you have to do some Paullie searching, what are you gonna do if you find me??? LOL YES there is a real Paullie, I think. Be nice to me and I will e mail you about the inspiration thing. ![]() ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
