I built my walls so high
With my doubts and sadness
Only to be knocked down by you
And I thought I was doing the right thing
But you've shown the world
Existing outside the walls
I carefully created

A world built
Using playing cards
Can be knock down
By anything
So she goes to bed
With her sneakers on
And sleeps with
One eye open
Ready to run away
When her world
collapses

I close the window
But i can still hear the wind
That keeps me up at night
Whistling through the darkness
Can you hear it?
Echoes of the past
of what should've been
And what has been
Past, present, future
All at the same time
Infinite possibilities
And it all leads back
*To you

I find refuge through kind words
They always utter
I love you
I care
You're important to me
Yet now I wonder
As the darkness approach
I am all alone
While everyone just watches
My existence fade
We are all lonely beings
Searching for the light
But running away from the darkness
And now as the stars die away
One by one
I fade away with them
And everyone will forget
The lonely girl
At the corner
With books at her hand
She's gone
*Forever
