Walking to the door
unlocking it
turning the knob slowly
Familiar sights and sounds
lie within my heart until
Saddened once again
to find whispered passions gone
Replaced with quiet and fading memories
I hesitate to open an old wound
Dreams drift past me
caressing my pain
But looking through me
they too
say goodbye
Flying high
into the hope of another soul
Never to return again
I go no further
Hearing silent voices
seeing a frozen darkness
I leave the key to happiness
somehow to be lost
on the floor of the old, crumbling home
Never looking back
on promises too good to be kept
Empty and cold in here
I leave this place
Coming into the light
brighter than the evening stars
more beautiful than a midnight moon
A smile graces my lips
Steps lighten and quicken
Thoughts mirror the rays of warmth
softly to comfort my mind
A new and different melody
I began to sing
