Words

Words I can no longer say
Begin to drift into a time where they belong 
I fear for what may be lost 
But can no longer bear to hear what they remind me of

Distance of time fades the memory
But never the pain
Everything untold does not dissolve
Evey second I wish could magically never have been

I dream to escape the crowded mind
Of all that makes the past ä place to avoid 
The ghost of all I failed to tell of
Have surely been punished enough

As into another time
My body burns a very different pain
Searching for just one line
That truly loves what I became
