you are a star
that’s about to die out,
a flame
which has lost its heat,
my child’s toy
that can’t be found;
yes,
you are all of these
but please,
let me sleep
so I can see you
still wondering
deep in my dreams

It’s been a while
since we’ve seen
her smile

In the skin
she is wrapped in
her happiness
lays thin

with a man
or on her own
she stands there
all alone

I built myself a prison
from my own
flesh and bone
using every tiny piece
a place I call home

with no window
and one pillow
that’s my collection
stands a tall mirror
which holds no reflection

is this a bad dream
or a passing phase
I’m still trapped
in the most darkest daze

Day after day
Night after night
I knew then
You were out of sight

I looked for you
Everywhere I went
The last words you spoke
Are ones that you meant

Since you left me
I felt so alone
Like a sad song
Playing
The deepest tone

You were someone
I once called home
Yet somehow you left
And I was all alone

Who am I
To impress
Certainly not
That young girl
In the beautiful
Dress

My past never dies
Some days it leaves
Every night it shows
When the morning comes
Where will you be
No one knows
