The girl paused at the doorway looking in

Her past was in there somewhere

It was hiding in the rafters

For the chance to drop and get her



The girl paused at the doorway looking in

She could smell it as she entered

On the curtains, in the cupboards

It was hanging in the air



And all around

The floor fell out from under

The ceiling coming down

The memories piled up on her

And she drowned



The girl paused at the doorway looking in

She decided to forget it

Because she knew it wasn't worth it

And that her best was yet to come
