Constant Change Darling Is Taking Place Poem by Mark Heathcote

We're all under reconstruction, you and me
Constant change is taking place somehow
Every molecule and atom is replaced somehow
You can look at me all you want to
And raise that silly wrinkled eyebrow
But I know I'm not the same as when I met you.

People change and darling you've changed to,
I don't care how you, look at it.
I haven't felt it in a good, good long while
Things grow and things just shrink away into nothing
And nothings all I've got today
And I am left holding on to now.

We're all under reconstruction, you and me
Constant change darling is taking place somehow
Every molecule and atom is replaced somehow
You can bet your boots, your bottom dollar
I've had more conversation with a cadaver
Then I'm having with you right now.

You can look at me all grim-faced you want
But I no longer pine, another second to stay
I just want to elope with a rhapsody of spring
Turning to summer once more before I die
I want to leave these drifting sands of time
Throw my life away and say to you goodbye.

And somehow change all who I am
But alas I still embrace your kiss
And simply, reminisce a once different you
And it leads me to reconsider
We're all under reconstruction, you and me
Constant change is taking place somehow
Every molecule and atom is replaced somehow
And tomorrow, I just might fall back in love with you.
But I know I'm not the same as when I met you.
So, darling is you just feeling the same as me too.
