Memories of life unknown
Confusion and joy intertwined
Sadness envelopes this heart of stone
Lost words hidden from the blind
Empty hollowness builds
Fearing loss and pain
The dripping sanity stilled
Falling steadily with the rain
Sighs unheard and unseen
Fabricated smiles shine
Holes rip through the spleen
Lines of everything fine
Loneliness settles unsuspecting
Good-byes choke the tongue
Fortresses of steel erecting
Recalling songs no longer sung
Entangled in the webs of self
The bite of death encroaches
Time creeps up on you in stealth
The hour of loss approaches
Nostalgic thoughts of joys now lost
Haunting joys of present times
Freezing in the winter frost
Empty chairs and broken chimes
