I am still the person
to whom you pledged your love
with tearful eyes and hands
clasped tightly - good actor

I am still the person
to whom you declared undying love
growing, unstoppable, forever,
developing more and more

I am still the person
that you said you loved
when, fists shaking, you pushed
me through your each-way door.

I am still the person
safe-keeping your sincerity
as you back away
when I hit the floor

I am still
