Evaporate

It seems like everyday I lose a little more. It’s never very much So, easy to ignore. I don’t know where it goes; Just out into the air. And those around me laugh ‘Cause I’ve so much to spare. Many times I wonder If it was really here, That little bit I lost Out to the atmosphere, For when I stop to think It seems so very strange, I look in the mirror And I can see no change. Don’t tell me I am wrong, All you who laugh and scoff. I know there once was more! My inventory’s off! I’m somewhere in the red But don’t know what I miss. And I can’t even check For I have made no list. That little piece of me Just gone without a trace… Another little truth That I don’t want to face. The cost of living life? The price we all must pay? As bit by bit we fade: Evaporate away…
