Summer months come and go
And I,
I remain
As I ever was.
I am who I am
And I will not change
Even as those around me do
I will remain
As I ever was.
Time passes
The minutes tick by,
The days all seem as one.
Another milestone
Comes and goes.
A time of celebration
But I cannot.
I remain
As I ever was.
I am not needed.
Those who used to,
Have found something
Different
Something that won't accept me
And I won't accept it.
Trust shattered
A heart broken
And walked upon
And ground into nothing
Nothing but tiny,
Jagged pieces.
I can never gather them
It's not meant to be.
I remain
As I ever was.
Broken,
Hollow,
Alone.
