Not The Man

winter drizzle on my back
as I step to avoid the cracks
the things I thought I knew,
all wrong
the things I need to know,
now forever gone
spent my whole life,
not wanting to be like this man
now knowing I’m not,
it’s like bone meets glass
I’m not half the man he was
fuck
I’m not even close

winter drizzle on my back
I’m sorry,
but hearing that song always takes me back.
Peace, Love.

    wish I had spent more time
    getting to know the man he really was
    instead of fighting the man
    I thought I’d become
    the winter river runs cool,...
    the slippery rocks beneath my feet,..
    I cast out a line in his honor
    drink the beer that ties him to me
    Peace, Love.
