Change

Another poem from when I was 16. Change scared me back then. It still does, but not as much. But enjoy. 


Change

Empty smiles

Hollow laughs

A fake attempt

At happiness.

When I’m alone

Hopelessness ensues

And I'm always crying

Not because I miss you

Not because I'm alone

Because every smile

You turn my way

Makes me feel alone.

You pretend you are okay

You pretend nothings wrong

But every time I talk to you

I only wish

Things could go back

To how they were before.

When we would walk hand and hand.

And when you smiled

Everything seemed alright

But now

I can feel it.

Something feels wrong

And there's nothing I can do.
