Light the First Page - Gates

and every line was beautiful and infinite withal

now i’m bound with emptiness that no one else could know

and all my words are stolen like the life i led before

and every piece of me is scribbled

on a note that no one cared to read

sentenced to be free of any meaning

and i can only come to be on pages

torn from me long before they’re worn

and i’ll die before i’m born
