As Silent As a Graveyard
As I walked into the building,
I was welcomed by an echoing silence,
Like a walk through a ghost land,
I could hear the sound of every step l took,
Nostalgia feelings swept through me,
The amiable embrace of the
the building is gone in the shadows,
Its affable warmth is stolen by life’s midnight,
Its aesthetic, waned and frail.
Sombre notes fill my heart,
The door stands before us,
Life’s twilight awaits everyone.
