Hometown

Old town,

You welcomed me

With open arms,

Would you believe.

I changed for good,

Or so i thought.

I went in deep,

Friendship I sought. 

Drunken Nights

Grew our close bond,

Thinking it'd last

-the biggest con.

Memories were made,

But I can't remember.

That last day came

The first of September.

No more days,

No drunken kiss.

Those old friends, 

I truly miss.

I see them now,

When they walk by.

Our past forgotten,

Suddenly shy.

We're afraid to talk.

-Strangers now.

It feels so lonely,

In this old town.

To avoid each other,

To cross the street.

My oldest friend, 

I try not to meet.

Hundreds of friends,

I've made and met.

But not even one

Could be kept. 

I walk around

This desolate place,

Our hearts are faded

Painted smiles on our face. 

It's ruined me, 

In the end.

I don't know what to say

Or how to make friends.

And I'd love to dive in,

Be part of my home

But these people have only

made me feel alone. 

A recluse I've become,

A stuttering mess.

This town has changed me..

I'm Anxious, Depressed...
