lonely for a lifetime



lonely for a lifetime
life is going by
the silence pierced by darkness
makes us want to cry

forever is the ending
eternity is the past
heartache cant be mended
by the eerie shadows cast

all about the tower
of humanity
there seems to be a feeling
of sensitivity

though closed are the eyes of music
that played along the breeze
still remembered are the melodies
that whispered through the trees.
