I lived there, listening In the turmoil of the trailer park For many years, through tears Time passed by as I watched people Move in and out, in and out Never staying there for too long I wonder where they’ve all gone The moments ticked on, moving Across second hands, along the lines Of goodbyes and lost ties that leave The heart feeling like it has a gap Where the blood might leak out I drifted to sleep at night After whispering prayers Huddled behind my quiet peace There was a silent scream Echoing through my soul without control Not once did I dream Of the laughter Laughter that Would come when I let go of the past
