there is this silence in my world now
deafening
uncanny
whispers go unheeded along this lonely path
where footsteps used to travel light
once skipping toward the laughter
near those smiles lounging around
the end of every day we shared,
combined with nothing more than nonsense to those so uninformed
though I must admit it meant everything to me,
and now I walk in quiet tears inside my darkened gloom
of never happened,
never meant to be ...

I spend my time cleaning and reorganizing the fabric of my dreams
and with each sweep, another fades into vast imaginings
shaded scenes and muted conversations
no longer can I hear
the music we enjoyed and spoke of so eagerly,
I can barely bring myself to think
it's far too deep, this crippling malaise
oh! how this torment haunts
what will become of me ...
