Never Catch Me

Recognize

I hardly recognize you now

Between the pale skin

And the dry eyes

lips in a line

Hair lying still

Hands that never grew worn and weathered

Face that never grew wrinkled and old

A body that never grew shriveled and weak

Mouth full of truths that will never be told

And now as I sit

Sit here watching your face

I can't help but look

Look for just a small trace

Of the person you were

Of the one you would have been

But now that's all lost

Because of my sins
