You will always be that person
People never truly change
Matter cannot be created or destroyed
It can only switch around and rearrange

Fall ending, seasons shift
Autumn colors swiftly fade
Trees blown bare, raging wind
Yellow leaves turning brown, decayed

Deep down empty thoughts
Anxiety hides in wait
Any comfort you give
Will come a little late

A world hidden in your eyes
It is there but hard to see
Its dark depths I will not explore
You just won't reach out to me

I do not want to make you talk
But it is hard not to pry
Lies sit around every corner
Keep trying not to cry

Miss the way you held my hand
And how we used to smile
Now that you are with her
It wont be like that for awhile

I hope it gets better
Feelings finally fade away
So I can actually mean it
When I say "I'm okay"
The most common lie told is "I'm fine"
