Empty Skies

I used to wake to blinding light 

When the sun would hug me tight 

Now I wake to haunted dreams 

Startled by songs of screams 

 

The moon and stars are hidden too 

They've left me to my gloomy hue

I cannot hear them sing at dusk 

Now the sky is just a husk 

 

So here I stand the sky so bleak

Searching with eyes to weak

  • Grave Sights

    Stones sink into the ground

     The oldest beneath never to be found 

    Coffins, urns, and empty spaces 

    All lay still set in their places 

     

    Only I move on this land 

  • Linger

    When my mother died I got her ashes 

    When my dog died I got his collar 

     

    I hear my mother's voice 

    I see her face 

    I smell her cigarette
