Rebel Eye

Remember when,
We were young,
Adolescent – highly strung,
Devastated by the,
Merest flick of the tongue,

Hurt and satisfied,
On the outside,
Maybe wild,
On the inside,
Running around in circles up the aisles,
When growing up was just confused,
Something to be amused,
Issues slaved and issues used,
Love rejected,
Love abused.

Anne Marie,
Do you still,
Still remember me,
Carry photographs,
And reminisce about the past.

Anne Marie,
Do you still,
Keep a diary,
Entries blurred with tears,
A dim reminder through the years.

I remember much too well,
I remember kiss and never tell,
I remember secret rendezvous,
I remember I had too much to lose,
Much too much to lose.

I was young and you were old,
I was proud and I could never fall,
Nobody told me I could bruise,
Nobody told me I could never win,
I could never lose,
I could always choose.

Tempers running much too high,
How could I ever forget the rebel eye?
Memories fading in the haze,
Except the ones I chose,
And they remain,
Yes and they remain.

Nobody told me,
Nobody dared,
Nobody whispered,
Nobody cared,
Nobody told me I was wrong,
Nobody told me I was much too strong,
I was much too weak,
I always had to seek.

Anne Marie,
Do you still,
Still remember me,
Carry photographs,
And reminisce about the past.

Anne Marie,
Do you still,
Keep a diary,
Entries blurred with tears,
A dim reminder through the years.
