Black thoughts on a starless night with no clouds.

I lie awake, haunted by words that were once uttered to me.

That darkens my memory like thick shrouds.

The room shaking around me, but I remain still as can be

At one time, I used to be surrounded by others, now I am alone

Separated by concrete and gold

Pulled apart by something blue and old

Something that once was bright and bold

But now I lie awake, as stiff as can be

Trying to remember what separated us, from what we have become

Looking up at everything crumbling down in front of me

I still remain still, strong foundation

Lingering on the lasting impression that you said before it all fell apart.

Realizing that time reclaimed your passion much from the start.

And silence reigns where once your laugh did

I had to learn, this is the path I must take with you.

No exceptions, no excuses, no decisions.

I tried to be blind to your game

But deep down I knew

I must remain still
