Different Time, Different Place
Eyes meet, look away
So many memories, what to say?
Turn your head, hide your face
Different time, different place
Years ago or yesterday
It's all the same, anyway
Time gone by without a trace
Creates a chasm, empty space
Eyes meet, look away
So many memories, what to say?
--The verse is sort of strange, I think, but I like it that way. It makes it sound more anxious or confused, which is generally the gist of the poem. If it sounds wrong at first, try reading it kind of fast. Again, I think that emphasizes the feeling more.--
