We're

Lonlier now;
Different somehow,
And we don't even understand it.

The knowing wells in our bellies
And fear keeps us from telling
The truth.

And there is no solid ground;
We're wading waters where we
Once stood
Secretly praying not to drown.

The emptiness that engulfs
Us
Presses down like gravity
Cloaks our eyes so we can't see-

Nothing is what it used to be.

And nothing is as it seems.
