The Man That I had Dreamed

I felt a saddening love song within me grow
As the space between my soul and her eyes grew dim
I felt
Somehow departed from the man she'd made for me
Or more precisely put,
The man she'd made me think she wanted
I guess I never was that man
I guess
I never was that nothing
That I ever wanted to be
And so
Deep within myself
From somewhere deep without as well,
I closed that chapter of my life
And closed my eyes
And sighed
And became the man that I had dreamed
