She used to be somebody
She used to be someone
Now in a crowded room
She still feels alone
She used to make money
She used to have fun
Now she keeps finding
Her past can’t be undone
She used to breath for life
She used to smile unforced
Now she feels empty
No way to find what’s lost.

Days go by
Things remain
Nothing lost
Nothing gained
Feelings stay
Never changing
Failure plays
Rearranging
Lost astray
Cast aside
Life replays
Every night
Wondering why
Failure stays
Nothing lost
Nothing gained.
The Dalema. December 21, 2017.
After truth
Comes the reality
After reality – the pain
After the pain comes the heartache
And you know nothing will be the same
After the heartache
Comes the denial
After denial – the blame
After the blame comes the pity
And you see yourself in all your shame
After the pity
Comes the cynic
After the cynic – the darkness stays
After the darkness sets for awhile
You realize your stuck in one place
After the darkness
They say there is light
After the light – the reason why
After the reasons it will all makes sense
But some of us never see that light
After I got lost in the reality
After I got stuck in the pain
I ended up staying too long in the darkness
I allowed my happiness to fade
After the cynic took over
After the pity swallowed my pride
Every day became just another day
Left to wonder all the reasons why.
You can’t give your heart out
When it belongs to someone else.
