Nothing

Nothing

There is nothing here

And this is what scares me

Dust, golden remains of shattered dreams

All is forgotten, but not by me

‘Cause I remember everyone that leaves

The darkness is settling in the edges of my reality

All is over and past

I can no longer see what I had once tried to grasp

I’m alone ever as people surround me

Time passes along, leaving me in this place

People speak, but I am met with only silence

Even the brightest light is pale

I can’t see any life here, not even my own

Desolation lingers amongst the shadows

Happiness has deserted me only to be replaced by black crows

Fluttering on to the dust covered rafters

And I find myself longing for something to last through the
night

Grasping for the remains of a golden shattered dream

I sit here in an empty place

Others pass me by

I am grasping for something that only I can see

No one ever thinks to tell me

That there is nothing there

But they don’t know

What really lies beyond stained windows

I am the only one who remembers

All that leaves…
