No One There
No One There
The past is always haunting me.
It just won't ever let me be.
Just when I think I'm in the clear.
It shuts me down and leaves me here.
Where I don't seem to have a choice.
I answer in a timid voice.
When asked if I am still in town.
The best that I can do is frown.
I'm not sure what people think.
When they can see my heart just sink.
For I don't have an answer why.
I just gave up, didn't even try.
I've been through many phases now.
When I look back I'm not sure how.
I reached a point where I did change.
To a life where I just now feel strange.
My hopes of love keep falling through.
So long now don't know what to do.
I whisper sweetly thoughts I share.
With my true love, but no one's there.
