YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN

The house on the corner with the white swing Candles, wine and dreams The darkness that loneliness brings To forgotten mountains You no longer recall any of it We once wrote letters to strangers Pretending they were our friends But now we leave the candle unlit Because somehow it no longer matters I'll be leaving soon Too quickly to fit in a goodbye You'll be angry for a while But your anger will be like The candle And I'll be only a stranger That you once knew

Wow!!! I am reminded of Edgar Allen Poe as I read this. It has a dark, gothic theme to it which could fit a lot of stories! I love how versatile and mysterious this is. Keep writing :3!

much of my early work is flat out depressing; it's good but sad. thanks for dropping by and commenting
