Leave no trace.
Words I'll never forget
Spending my time raising babies that are
Not my own
I remember the words of my mother
Leave no trace
I keep hearing it
As I pick up endless piles of dolls
And legos
In someone else's home
Leave no trace

Leave no trace
The repetition of those words never ceases in my head
Trying to unwind myself from
This entanglement of what used to be love
Leave no trace
Memories I have to bury
deep enough to forget the surprise  
She found the loophole in the game of love
And I found my own way out
Leave no trace
