"Goodbye, everyone, I'll remember you all in therapy!"


Can I survive

Without you, my guiding light

Lighting me up like a spotlight

Inside what I call my auditorium


We call to hear your voice

Alone on an empty stage

Waiting, listening

For you to join me onstage


Your voice fills the auditorium, doubles your height

And then I know that you’re here with me

Inside the empty auditorium

It is only you and I


And even then the echos stopped

As silence filled the auditorium

And I realized I was alone

Inside my own head
