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.
