I changed myself for you, It was too late. You’d already said your goodbyes Before I smoked my first bowl Before I decided to let loose Before I chose to jug that plastic bottle of whiskey I told you I needed you, It was too late. I treated it like a game Because I thought that’s what you wanted A girl with her head in the sky And her heart full of limericks. You never told me what you wanted So I made a person up I hid who I was from you And realized later Everything could have worked out If I had been myself.

The Inevitable Change
I’m starting to feel strange in my own life. Time’s grains won’t slow down, they’re drowning me. I forgot who I was again today, But no one knows, perhaps I’m still okay. I used to be the one to call for a good time, They would dial One for One time out, bring her back And be done till the next week But now I am out of touch from them, I am gone from everyone who once danced around me. I loved a guy once, long ago And he was scarred like me Is he still? I wouldn’t know He is now a stranger to me, Another page of a notebook no one wants to read. I forgot who I was again today, But I read that I was a writer. I am starting to feel strange in my own life.
