The earth that supports
the path where I tread.
The smiles and the laughter
and you in my head.
...
I wonder if I left you
A part of me behind.
I wonder if you knew
Exactly what I'd find.
...
When despair comes knocking
There’s no one home
Gone out shopping
And not alone
...
and so it creeps back
this unyielding thorn,
when the defenses crack,
and certainty's torn.
...
I know I'm a burden
to those who love me most.
I know I've become someone
resembling a ghost.
...
