Nothing stays the same,

But my dreams and my pain,

Even in the night-

The stars don’t shine like they use to,

Or maybe it was your eyes,

Because they could light up the night.

That was long ago,

But it was only yesterday,

Must have been in another life-

I cannot remember,

Or I refuse to,

Because the pain opens another wound.

I would run away,

But there is no escaping

From the man that I was

And the man I have become,

Or ever hope to be,

Because I cannot be me without you.

I close my eyes,

But my mind stays open-

To tortured thoughts

That won’t go away,

Or I won’t let them,

Because that is the only part of you that I have left.
