Why

Why

Why do you go where I cannot follow?

This path is not one I trod lightly

I promised to go where you lead

But the behavior you choose is quite unsightly

I feel lied to remembering the things you said

Time will pass people will forget

I’m an elephant though, I never will

The scars you’ve left will heal so slowly

It’s amazing how raw a cut can feel

Reduce me to feeling so incredibly lowly

Mayhap one day I’ll smile and laugh

Remembering a look or a glance or a grin

Right now the scars are too fresh, too raw

To notice anything ready to begin

I must wait for my heart to thaw

Alteration

Alteration

If alteration alters

What is left behind?

Is it something new?

What is there to find?

There is something in the changing

Something to be said

Never left to notice

What happens in your head

Tomorrow’s troubles find you

No matter how you hide

If you tell the truth as oft’ as able

You never regret having lied
