Life is confusing <br />When your heart is sad; <br />It is difficult to distinguish <br />Who your true friends are <br />And who are merely interlopers <br />Meddling to step in, <br />Maneuvering for positions of advantage. <br /> <br />I’d like to go back to a simpler time, <br />Fill my mind with poetry, <br />Gaze out into the sunlight <br />From an afternoon window, <br />Ride a horse and carriage with you <br />Until the world was true. <br /> <br />But I’ve been exiled in a cruel country, <br />Cutting my teeth on the sour fruit <br />Of dissipating dreams and vanished youth, <br />My unshaven face has a humble grace <br />But I do not think you will kiss me today.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kiss-me-today/
