When He Left

From the time when he left
Nothing remained with me
then, not even my sanity was saved
then years passed

Nothing remained with me
Everything was taken and stolen
Then years passed,
And slowly I recovered

Everything was taken and stolen
Everything shattered and lost
And slowly I recovered
From my weary state

Everything shattered and lost
But now, bits and pieces were mended
From my weary state,
Now, I stand, tall and remedied

But now, bits and pieces were mended
Then, not even my sanity was saved
Now, I stand tall and remedied
From the time when he left.
