Like a stranger

joanna scott 1967 (Birmingham)

The music died in me
the day you left with out a good bye
the tears never stop rolling
as silent days now pass me by
Suddenly like a stranger
dancing to my own tune
I never thought I'd lose you
my dancing man on the moon
Now there is only a silence
that leaves a icy chill
the music died in me
and hasn't returned still

About this poem

I never really know what to say about my poems as I have wrote so many A lot of them come from listening and watching. Others are for people who have asked me to write for them other some one else
