Back in the years where my heart was steel,

when all this darkness was trapped under a seal,

and as the days past I watched the barrier peel.

And that was the day I forgot how to feel.

Who knew emptiness would weigh so much?

It feels like I'm falling, with nothing to clutch.

All I need is a tender hand. A simple touch. 

But I fear for their soul that I'd smutch. 

The memories of my normality seem faint,

and looking back happiness seems so... quaint.

But now I dwell where none will hear my plaint,

because I looked for freedom and sadness holds no restraint.

I am no longer surprised by my even blank stares,

because my life's fallen apart and not a single part of me cares.
