THE OLD YOU


SPOKEN WORD POETRY

The old you

It’s in your smile

I found perfection

It’s in your face

My pains and sorrows disappeared

You had this smile

That always lit my doomy world

You had these cute eyes

That I would see a thousand galaxies

Sparkling before me

You had these pink lips

That beautified my garden of roses

You had these cute eyebrows

That wiped my tears away

Sweet words that made my heart

Glow even when you were not around

You had this melody

That made an escape to our little song

A song you became part of the lyrics

Every morning sweet aroma

That always woke me up

Breakfast in bed

Cuddles and kisses to start the day

I missed the old you

I just missed the old you.

The old you that saw past my flaws

The old you that saw past my stretchmark’s

The old you that saw past my pains

The old you that saw past my beauty

The old you that saw past my mistakes

The old you that saw past my laughter

The old you that saw past my tears

The old you that saw past my shortcomings

The old you that saw past my broken pieces

Just the old you
