"Nothing Stays"
By: Jason Conner
(C) 03/06/98.

A single tear
leaves my eye
Then another
and another.

slwoly the tears
overtake me
and I wonder
Where I went wrong.

I make plans,
they shatter.
I build bridges,
They collapse.
I try again and again
But nothing stays.

Back to bed?
Not at all,
I won't sleep,
I can't stay awake.

The hurt builds up
and it washes over me
and for an instant
I begin to doubt.

I make plans,
they shatter.
I build bridges,
They collapse.
I try again and again
But nothing stays.
