Today

Time changes things...sometimes for the worse.

Cracking, but never
Breaking
Lying, but never
Faking
My heart has grown harder today

Speaking, but never
Talking
Moving, but never
Walking
I’ll stand all alone today

Bleeding, but never
Dying
Living, but never
Trying
How could you be so cruel today?

Hurting, but never
Minding
Searching, but never
Finding
My heart has gone from me today

Aching, but never
Crying
Sinking, but never
Flying
I’ll continue on my own today

Hearing, but never
Listening
Shining, but never
Glistening
I finally stopped needing you today
