Unfinished Diary

It seems so long ago
I was saying close the door, close the door
On your way Mother
I was a girl now I am a woman
Don't tell me to smile
There won't be one tonight
How can I now? everything in my life is f***** up
And it seems so long ago
I was sitting in the dark alone
Memories do they fade or is it just me?
Pages of the diary seem to seap into the walls
I left them behind
Unfinished diary, its calling my name
Can't seem to hide the void
or pick up the crashing pieces
that fell upon me
Memories will they come back to me?
Unfinished diary I threw you once away
Now your back in my heart
And it seems so long ago
I held you close
And every night 
my thoughts would be written down
upon the unfinished diary
I was a girl
Now I am a woman.
