Here, an Eerie Loneliness Does Cry
January 4, 2016
Here, an eerie loneliness does cry
With an old smell, frail bones, and dropped skin.
Lost minds wander awry.
Now sit pictures of those who defy
Loving the people of back then;
Too busy of late even to try.
Drawn to this place Why?
Wanting to make a face light up when
Others pass you by.
Others pass you by
Wanting to make a face light up when
Drawn to this place. Why?
Too busy of late even to try
Loving the people of back then;
Now sit pictures of those who defy.
Lost minds wander awry
With an old smell, frail bones, and drooped skin.
Here, an eerie loneliness does cry.
