I was a person once I remember,

….I remembers…

Tis true..

It was small; nonetheless it was my song,

….I remembers….

Tis true..

Neither loud nor quiet it murmured like a running brook,

….I remembers….

Tis true..

Now the songs’ stagnant, crushed, silenced.

….I remembers….

Tis true..


I was a person once I remember,

….I remembers….

Tis true..


My dreams were simple,

….I remembers….

Tis true

A husband, home, kids, family, friends,

…. I remember…

Tis true.




Dreams I dreamed now scars,

… I remember….

Tis true

A reminder they don’t happen to a person like you.

…. I remember….

Tis true.

I was a person once I remember,

….I remembers….

Tis true..

Long ago I danced the night away,

…. I remember….

Tis true..

Laughed like waves upon the sea,

…. I remember…

Tis true..

Reclusive I’ve became,

…. I remember….

Tis true…

Where did this person go?

…. I remember….

Tis true…


Victim I scream at the person I see,


….I remembers….


Tis true

Helpless, in despair, tears I shed,

….I remembers….

Tis true

For once I was a person I remember,

…. I remember…

Tis true..

Destroyed by my prince who said he would love me and would be true,

….I remembers….


Tis true..

I’m dead, bury me quickly, deeply, and shut the lid,

…. I remember…

Tis true…

Once I was a person.
