There’s a woman voice in my head, singing a lullaby.

There I was again tonight,

Forcing laughter, faking smiles.

Her voice haunts my memories because it reminds me of a girl I once loved.

Same old tired, lonely place

_Walls of insincerity _

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

Her face is a mere blur that I hardly remember, but she is gone.

And I was enchanted by her beauty, which cannot be retrieved.
