I sit alone
Silence ringing in my ears
For once
My mind is quiet

No thoughts of my mistakes
No thoughts of my joyful times
No thoughts lurking in the shadows
For once
My mind is without a thought

For one
My mind is peaceful
Without a sound
Still
I cherish this

It’s not often that my mind allows stillness
It’s never fails to torment me
Never lets me forget

For once
My mind is tired
For once
My mind has quit
For once
My mind has failed me
As I have failed you

For once
My mind is gone
And so am I
