Dying

Lifeless thoughts stream to me Maybe I keep bad company Maybe it’s just that I’m growing old Maybe it’s something that’s never been told Memories of you are haunting me I want to forget, but they want me to see Our whispers of love, the stars and the sea Mysteries of life, mysteries of you Timeless nights, lonely paces We always die alone We always die alone Godless days will follow Dusks and dawns Springs and summers The world’s lost its meaning And now you are only a word. Silence would do, but then silence is death I still love you, but this does not mean a thing I don’t know where to go I really know nothing Sometimes we do try and we do fight Sometimes we think it is worth a while But we always lose and we always get lost No lighthouse Just the remote skies and the dying birds
