Committed.

Folder: 
closet boxes 2001

I don't want to leave

but what else can I do,

when i've lost my soul,myself

in the person I call you.



Committed to a memory

of what could have once been love,

filled with sunshine,

rain,and everything

sent straight from up above.



The sunshine seems to hide these days

the rain just seems to pour,

all else seems so drab and gray

I can't take anymore.



I wither without the sunlight

drown within the rain,

I try to swim bur find no shore

I find nothing to gain.



The person that I look at now

is not the one I knew,

funny how things just seem to change

with the things that we go through.

"funny how things just seem to change
with the things that we go through."- very true.
