The man that used to make me laugh <br />now only makes me cry... <br />Your laugh used to be my serenade <br />now it is the music of my nightmares. <br />Those eyes of gold once warmed my heart <br />but now they pierce my soul. <br />You are a stranger compared to who you were before... <br />Before you broke my heart. <br /> <br />Before you were a son of honor <br />You were a boy of high hopes and dreams <br />you were proud to be who you were <br />and never let anyone tell you different. <br /> <br />I loved you with a love greater than all loves <br />if only you knew maybe it would be different... <br />My love had always remained a secret <br />but I think you knew. <br /> <br />If only I knew you felt for me in return <br />maybe things would be different between us <br />maybe you could have loved me. <br /> <br />Then you were a beautiful man. <br />But that was then, and this is now.<br /><br />Kelly Curiel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-17/
