Just a stranger

 Sadness fills my soul

When I look into your eyes.

The light once brilliant there,

Was strangled by your own hands.

And I'm a stranger to you now.

 

Rivers of tears flow,

When I hear your voice.

Still soothing to my senses,

Yet the words cut like knifes.

And I'm a stranger to you now.

 

My body trembles,

When I search your face.

Expressions once soft with affection,

Have turned to solid ice.

And I'm a stranger to you now.

 

Slowly I wake from the dream,

When I see the reality of you.

The man I once loved so completely,

Was only a cruel illusion.

And YOU are a stranger to me now.
