Changes

Sitting there quietly
well behaved and polite
not like you at all 
i remember when
you use to joke and kid around
running, jumping, and doing stupid things...
that was you
now you sit there 
like an empty shell
i wish i could bring back
the life i once saw in you eyes 
i wish i could bring back
you courageous soul
but it has left and shall not return
and forever shall you sit there quietly
being well behaved
