The Haunted House

It hardly bends around this wall
This light that shines on memory
Like time it pushes forward too
Beyond my life’s cold treasury

And outward from my daily mirror
That light ignores what I knew
Like time it warps what you were 
Those beams no longer true

Now shadows roam where light once lit
They reel inside my head
Like the times that once were
They live 'cause you are dead
