Silent night-startled by the telephone
House is quiet-you're desperate and alone.
Years wasted, bitter regret
Your fear-it's not over yet.
Left alone to chase your demons
Terrified winter will be the only season.
If only you could change me
There wouldn't be this melancholy.
Me listening, charged, guilty, I'm sorry.
Fit in my new wardrobe-submissive
Misinterpreted as angst, aren't you brilliantly dismissive.
Sighs and pauses, well anyway
I just called to say
I'm thinking of you
Can't we start over, fresh and new?
How sad, it should inspire
Passions to burn and the soul set afire.
Some replacement for passive waiting
alternative for eyeing walls, pensively contemplating.
If only I could change me
listening, guilty, with hushed I'm sorry.
Past is past-it's time for change.
Unarmed, my brave face left on the firing range.
Memories-banshees screaming and rushed
with your heel my heart was crushed.
But you didn't mean it; I'm your baby
If only we could change me.

Adding your comment:
People should accept you as you are. Once they change you, then you aren't YOU anymore.
