Alone
Standing alone,
The terrace looks long
And the road far away.
Time doesn’t move anymore.
No key turns in the lock,
Footsteps echo through the empty hall,
Laughter resounds in vacant rooms.
Loves unharnessed dreams
Whisper loud reminders
Of what might have been
I wander through the empty rooms
Gaze at faded photo’s
Walk the long dim hallway
And never reach the end
An invisible barrier forces me back
Cryptic sounds shroud the truth
Mask the pain
If I open the door
They might not stay.
