In a Different Time

I loved you in a different time
Silent, dark, unyielding man.
You were there or were you gone?
Funny how I don't remember.
You caressed me with your eyes
Always on my breasts.
Never apart from my side
Or were you in a different town that time?
I screamed your name against the wind
But it was silent in the darkness,
Afraid to speak, terrified to remain silent-
I missed you so much.
Dark bruises can hide the hurt
Of a painful burst of love
But was it really, love I mean?
Or just another pathetic excuse
To stay away.
I was so glad you were gone
Desperate to have you back.
Sunglasses and long sleeved shirts
Only hide so much,
From curious eyes, but no one too involved.
Yes I loved you once, in a different time.
