We count the seconds <br />Where once the hours weren't enough <br />Silence now forces us too speak <br />Where once words were to much <br /> <br />Love, do you remember <br />How we used to sit <br />And exchange myths about the stars <br />(Do you remember?) <br /> <br />You were a warrior <br />And I a maiden <br />And we chased the sun across the sky <br />Into the sea <br /> <br />Now, I watch helplessly <br />As those selfsame stars <br />Tumble from your eyes <br /> <br />And where once I was a Queen <br />I am now just another woman <br />No different from the ones that came before <br />Or from those that will come after.<br /><br />Vaun Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-open-letter-to/
