Someone is in your mind,
Lingering to unwind.
Someone is in your soul,
Dwelling to fill in your voids.

Something is what you desire,
A house, money, or even a fire.
Something is what you need,
Serenity, happiness, and a good deed.

Somehow that was everything,
You laugh, whine, and sing.
Somehow tried to obliterate
The smiles and efforts we made.

Someone, something, somehow—
Long gone and I don't know how.
Someone's in me and something is wary,
But somehow erased all my fury.
