I've wandered and wandered for such a long time,
Past the rust and the dirt and the grime,
And I cannot see the exit.

I've long forgotten the taste of the air,
The light of the sun; drowned in despair,
And I cannot smell the exit.

Food lost its taste a long time ago,
And the passage of time has stopped its flow,
And I cannot hear the exit.

The colors all faded into gray,
Nothing around to make me stay,
And I cannot taste the exit.

My heart is numb, still, in pain,
My blood has dripped into every drain,
And I cannot feel the exit.

But here I'm safe, and content to be,
To remember why you left and what you meant to me,
And I do not want an exit.

I yelled into the night,
demanded once and for all to be seen.
I stole the stars from the sky,
i made them bow to me.

Angry words clawed at my throat,
the words tore me apart.
But i never let them out,
they picked me to pieces from the start.

My soul screamed,
As i wailed in agony.
The child locked in my mind,
Begging to be set free.
