A Way I Never Knew
What be this change in me!
Who is this new man I see?
Inviolate personae I no longer don
for previous lovers that have come and gone.
I like the new me so much more.
With her I can close that door;
and cast down my old self
to a place on the discarded shelf.
He still comes up when she's away;
but I can keep that old me at bay.
With her I have this new start;
with her I can open my heart.
Rejoice in her! And in me too!
. . . for a way I never knew.
