Alone

A shelter of a different kind An echoed verse no one will find A promise carved in a heart of stone The world revolves Untouched, alone Words of love on rancid breath The ambience a silent death But beneath the shelter of the sky Is where you’ll find the will to cry Forgotten dreams, long put to bed The silent screams, of hearts that bled But in the quiet of the night When we think of all unsaid We grasp the dying of the light And give up the ghost instead For in truth we know not what we do But to who we are we must stay true And if by chance we do atone The world revolves untouched, alone
