Footsteps in my mind

by Lost Girl   Apr 30, 2005


Corners of my mind, with rocks left unturned
Secret passages, with entrances halls left burned
Tunnels through my sanity, where it is growing thin
Punctures in my soul, where I let the demons in

Yet all of these are memories, of a time of yesterday
And all of them reminders of the time I went astray
But I will never let them go, I will keep them in my heart
As a painful reminiscence of when I fell apart

Marks on my heart, from when I thought I had to go
Engravings on my mentality, when I let nobody know
Petals lay scattered on the floor of my bitter core
Ashes dusty white disperse, as the fire burns no more

Grasping onto forgiveness, from all the people that I hurt
Promise to never again return to my empire of dirt
Pretty little nostalgia of a time that’s now long gone
Broken shells lay crumbled, of all my feelings so wrong

Vines around my throat, make me unable to speak
Leaves upon the ground, by a fragile child so weak
Familiar faces surround me, each tender voice so kind
Just scars on my body, just like footsteps in my mind
