You saw me as broken.
Outsider. Alone.
You came and you spoke:
"I'm here. And I know".

You gave me a hope
That life was worthwhile.
The bridge that you built,
I entered. Unarmed.

You stabbed where it hurt
And didn't tell why.
And then just burned it
While I was still on it.

You won't see me fall.
I'm used to the storms.
Used to the darkness
And walking alone.

And at the end
Of your play pretend
It's me who was real
And you've lost it.
Godspeed.

The stars shine loud tonight.
They’re carving their invite
On surface of the lake.

Don’t follow. Ice will break.
You’ll fall and get trapped in.

Cause this is where I live—
Where time is standing still,
And noises disappear.

The truth is hard to bear.
A storm that’s locked within.
I watch. I am awake.

Don’t follow. Ice will break.
You’ll fall and get trapped in.

Where am I going?

I remember them say:
“Stop acting insane.
Follow the track.
Hop on that train,
and never look back.”

My feet just moved forward
In soldier-like pace,
Drawn into the war—
No room to retrace.

Youth in my chest,
Bland orders in hand—
But still, my gaze strayed.
I never found rest.

First stop…
And the last.
No place for a pause,
No way to the past.

Only windows to watch
The days flying by—
Shadow and light
Under a distant sky.

My summer has ended.
My eyes have gone blind.
The sun disappeared—
With the world that was mine.

— The End —
