The Empty Room

To feel forever when tears begin to fall From yesterday's fading graying gleam As footsteps shuffle down an empty hall The dark rooms I pass of silence scream Tomorrow waits upon a vacant floor And speaks to no one for there's no one there Trying to escape when there is no door Only my head bowed in darkest despair With its stone etched eyes of torment to cry From glow lit realms of light, you left behind When warm lips turned bitter cold with a lie And left their memory's curse to remind This dark empty room where nothing is heard Neither sigh of love or forgiving word 8/30/17

Very sad, but so well written. The mind keeps these things to remember. And some memories stay like a curse to replay. (especially without any closure) You have expressed this well Frederic!
