Dust filled the untouched surface Cups left unscathed Water faucet’s dry Sun can’t shine through the stained glass Silence fills the mist Floor’s creaking everytime I step on every piece of it Front porch’s the same There is your rocking chair Wind’s blowing to my direction Reminding me of how it used to be An air of grim darkened my face I can see my reflection on the coffee Silver plate’s still shining Spoon and fork’s still in the right place Everything is perfect Even now that you’re gone The silhouette of your soul Haunting my mind down the hall I followed your tracks Trying to stop your memories From running dry Where do I go from here? When all I have is our yesterday I know I’m always away But I know how to return and come home you promised me you will always be here waiting for my presence while sitting here at the front porch your heart used to leap everytime you hear my car’s tire scratching on the pavement but now… everything’s a blur holding a bottle of you another dust sparkling in the sun you never said goodbye you introduced me to a world of loneliness I know even though you’re always with me There you follow But it will never be the same again Stepping on your grave Looking at your tombstone Reading your engraved name Leaving a flower to unfurl May time heal our wounds And learn to part ways at the end of the horizon |
