Used To

The sky is dark,
The stars don't shine
Like they used to.

My eyes don't sparkle,
My lips don't smile
Like they used to.

Sleep evades me,
I don't have peace,
Not like I used to.

I find myself at a loss
To find what I once had.
This world I live in now
Is not the one I'm used to.

I distance myself,
I draw within,
But I never used to.

It feels like a failure,
It's all my fault,
This is not what I'm used to.

Life is dull,
My expressions blank,
I don't feel the things I used to.

I will to find myself again,
Gain back what I have lost.
This world I now exist in,
Will not become something I'm used to.
