Remember the joy used to shine through my eyes?

It is shaded and buried in the dark, deep inside…

Remember the fire igniting in my soul?

Is smoldering and boiling the blood dark as coal…

Remember the wilderness that was sparkling inside?

It is cold and is silent, is frozen and dried.

Remember the love that was warming the world?

It is fading and barely lights up the smile worn…

Remember the shivers opening up the skies?

Are still and are trapped in the river of time…

Remember the freedom that blasted out there?

It is sealed in a life, often pointing nowhere…

Remember the girl who lost all of her senses?

Is here. Keeps searching for omens and means

And tries to remember that spirit she lost

But finds only shadows, and darkness, and ghosts.

Awakened by the deadly deaf silence around

Keeps looking for hope hid in sad mourning sound…
