looking back I don’t recognize
that girl hiding in the closet...

A flattering smile,
a laugh like the sun...

Just like the ocean,
so calm and serene...

I climb up onto the bed
as I lay down for the night...

Wandering through life
with no purpose or direction...

Smile sweetly all you want
I know it full of venom...

No one can be bothered
to even remember your name...

Doesn’t seem to take much
A word, a joke, a sound...

I always thought
you were my best friend...

Embrace me from behind
Never let me go...

I've been thriving,
So it's been years...

I use to be a writer
a painter, a muse...
