Memories Remain
Photographs are taken away
Memories of a lifetime are forgotten
Dust has been scattered over all the fingerprints
Dishes packed away
Telephones are no longer ringing
Clothes still unused
Records are no longer playing
Blood still remains on the carpet
No more sunshine
No laughter
Just the haunting silence
The dead still appear in the darkness of the corners
The clock rings that same old lullaby
Its too late to say goodbye
But not too late to make up with the ghosts
