Once upon a time
I was of the mind
I'd lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood

You believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw

Never say a word
But now that all is gone
Over with and done
And never to return

Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure

Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within

Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin
