it all went away

I closed my eyes and the world went away
No flash of light, no new day
It just all went away
I opened my eyes and couldn't see a thing
It was all gone, nothing remained
No dark of night, no light of day
It all had gone away
The emptiness frightened me at first
I was lonely and scared
Like those times when nobody cared
When I had nobody and nothing was shared
I had nothing anyway
Before it all went away
The world didn't end for those who believed
The world didn't end for those who were decieved
The world didn't end for those who recieved
The world only ended for me
I had nothing anyway
Before it all went away
Someone took it and gave it all away
They left me here by myself
Like a forgotten toy on the highest shelf
They left me here without any help
So I closed my eyes and made it all go away
Never to be another new day
