Asylum
here, inside my crowded mind
these padded walls of my asylum
I slowly part with things on a list
I know I need to leave behind
things that weigh too heavy
things that have torn me apart
things that I thought settled
things that have hurt my heart
as I close this very thick book
sealing you off in a special chamber
finally knowing what wasn't meant to be
and walking away without anger
loving you netted no dividends
I invested more than I got back
I didn't blame it on you, although
part was your fault as I reflect
here, inside my crowded mind
these padded walls of my asylum
I slowly part with things on a list
I know I need to leave behind
