Aimless Footfalls Wander

Clouds swirl about and darkness descends lying her head amongst the lonely Beats of the heart fade and thoughts give way to a pain stained night Aimless footfalls wander hollow halls and angry floor boards squeak in tongues of failures never understood Cold water splashes ease the burden temporarily but an open window haunts

I like them all! Old memories can be very depressing. It can be hard to keep things in perspective if you get in to deep.

Darren likes the 3rd stanza. For me it was the 1st. ". . . lying her head amongst the lonely". That is masterful! This whole poem is powerful. Enjoyed it Tim!

A lonely and aching piece that calls out from the page hoping for someone to hear. Nicely done.
