The Both Of Us
I used to be a butterfly
but now I’m just a slug.
I used to be a toothy grin
but now I’m just a shrug.
I used to be a rainforest
but now I’m just a tree.
It used to be the both of us
but now it’s only me.
I used to be an estuary
but now I’m just a brook.
I used to be a library
but now I’m just a book.
I used to be a sanctuary
but now I’m just a zoo.
It used to be the both of us
but now there is no you.
I used to be a dinosaur
but now I’m just a mouse.
I used to be a cityscape
but now I’m just a house.
I used to be a bakery
but now I’m just a bun.
It used to be the both of us
but now there’s only one.
I used to be a symphony
but now I’m just a note.
I used to be democracy
but now I’m just a vote.
I used to be Mount Everest
but now I’m just a stone.
It used to be the both of us
but now I’m all alone.
