Graveyard of Memories

i'm still at the same place
sitting by the same old lamp
where we penned 
a tale, a poem, a song for the ages
while listening to same old music

in void of your voice
and the letters you used to fly
from your place 
i'm wishing on every star
for a force to come by and tell me
is it over or is it an illusion?

my mind is my graveyard 
a death place of my happiness 
that keep stabbing daggers
by bringing back memories 

i looked up your name 
not once, twice or thrice
but thousands of time
with my each cry
i see you're doing good
by locking me in a cage
and throwing away in the sea with the key
leaving me to drown and die
