Trapped in my own skin.
I've never felt so alone.
I can't go back,
I must go forward.
I must ignore my hearts ache,
I must use my head this time.
I can't go back,
Fore there is nothing to go back to.
I have let all that disappear.
It's just a memory now.
I must move forward.
The past is the past.
It needs to stay there.
Everything is a faint memory.
One, that i shall carry forever.
To remind myself...
I didn't go back,
I went forward.
