I can still see as a different man
feel with the soft hands of a surgeon
speak to giants with a booming voice
hear as if I wanted to listen

but it should come as no suprise
to you I am limited as a person
changing little from what you chose
fitting into a tightly obscene mold

So when you stand with mouth agape
at the words you hear pouring out
just remember you tried to form the mold
but I chose to cast it aside

have a good life dear

Love the dryness of the last line. Seems some people make choices, then are surprised with the consequences. Maybe I'm reading into it, based on my own experiences. Either way, I liked it alot.

Is this as a statement of how the love you tried to pigeon-hole into being this, that and the other?The form she made out for you wasn't what you had set for yourself. Well so it goes for so many couples that come together and then fall apart..love is mutual and should mean a real acceptance of the molds that we all have.Liked the ending too
