And then you told me how you lost your mind
That time in winter when the walls were closing round you
And your eyes said how you cried, alone, and wished to die
But could not find a way
And when I left the world had changed
I cried inside and thought as children do
That you were far too pure too beautiful to ever fall
Beneath the darkness of a lonely mind
And so I learned that everything is tainted by the night
That even if your eyes are bright and smiling
You can walk into the prison-house of death
And innocently break into a thousand lonely stars
