The Past Is the Present
"The past is not I"
said the guy
trying to let go
of what once got him by
"The past is I"
said the girl
trying to hold on
to what once made her mind whirl
"The present is not I"
said the guy
as he changed
letting his eyes drain until he had no more tears left to cry
"The present is I"
said the girl
as she refused to change
she grabbed the barrel and gave it a whirl
The guy is here
the girl was overwhelmed with fear
the guy is well managed
the girl is vanished
