Gone am I

Gone am I from the ones who once knew my name

Gone to the wind man's toll

Gone to the world I know

That is covered in sand

And dusted with shame

Gone am I from the ones who once knew my heart

They glimpsed it there

And they gave a start

But never will they know my soul

And never will they hear the toll

Gone am I from the ones who once knew my fate

They tarried me here

They shouted their leers

They caused a long shriek in my belly

That permeated my skin

Gone am I from the ones who disillusioned me

I once knew them too

And their souls were so neat

With boxes and folders

And small labels covered their hearts

I never knew that ones so cold

Could warm to the dark
