my feelings will always
stay the same
but for once my actions
have to change
my eyes have dried
my heart decayed
i can't stay put
in this rut we've made
if we just lie down
refuse to stand up
we'll both die alone
in this ditch
that we've dug
nothing will change
if we hide from the sun
i hope you find
whatever you need
but we both know
that isn't me
so it's time that i
get up
and leave
before we dig ourselves
too deep
if you stop lying down
just try to stand up
you won't die alone
in that ditch
we once dug
but nothing has changed
you still hide from the sun

well said, a philosophy of how we want to change, we change and still there are some things that remain a part of our core, indelible in nature
