Into Solitude

The doorbell seldom rings now,
only the ghosts of friends past
blowing in on cold drafts.
Tea for one grows tepid,
the extra cup gathers dust -
a museum of might-have-beens.
Memory furnishes the rooms
echoes of laughter and words
that once warmed the walls.
The present is a sparse table:
a fork, a knife, a plate,
a chair waiting in vain.
The windows rattle their regrets,
peering out for a familiar face
amidst the crowd of strangers.
A life once festooned
with joys and sorrows shared
fades slowly into solitude.

Wither II

Your skin and hair grow pale
Your limbs just bone and skin
As you slow, I will grow
As you slow, I will grow
Your world contracts behind myopic gaze
Your shadow small as I grow tall
As you slow, I will grow
As you slow, I will grow
The fantasy of endless days
Give what's left to me
I feed on your age
Your sunken cheeks and empty mouth
You silently forever plead
As you slow, I will grow
As you slow, I will grow
I feel the cold of your blood
A trickle from a shrunken heart
As you slow, I will grow
As you slow, I will grow
The fantasy of endless days
Give what's left to me
I feed on your age

Time's Cruel Hand
05:36

Infinite horizon, mocking me
A mirror of madness, waves whispering deceit
I chased the dream, now it's a shroud
Echoes of reason, lost in the crowd
Autumn always
Autumn always
Time's cruel hand, erasing my name
Erase the lines, between sane and insane
Lies and delusions, my sole reprieve
A fragile sheen, the abyss I cannot leave
The world's weight, crushing my bones
A leaden sea, where hope is a stone
Autumn always
Autumn always
Time's cruel hand, erasing my name
Erase the lines, between sane and insane
In the void, I'm searching for a shore
Where the tides of sanity, might wash me once more
Autumn always
Autumn always
Time's cruel hand, erasing my name
Erase the lines, between sane and insane
Time's cruel hand, erasing my name
Erase the lines, between sane and insane
