PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

take careful stride

through the empty world around me

where's the life?

and all the happy faces that

used to surround me



maybe this is a memory i can't erase

soon this will all blow up in my face

i'm searching for everything i used to know

they told me to come here but they

didn't tell me where to go



no lights on inside, and the driveway's abandoned

i guess everyone moves on and on and on

this familiar place feels like something i've imagined

was any of this real all along?

take a grain of salt with everything i see

cause i'm praying this is just a cruel trick on me

this place is changed for the worse

and there's nothing i can do

this place is far worse

cause it doesn't have you



i'm making my way, back to the starting point

hoping that i can bide some time

until the grief consumes my mind

i'm fessing up to this unspeakable crime

and although it's the one thing i didn't commit

i came back to take the blame for it



so look at this town, so empty and dead

i'll fill this place with memories and regrets

and through all the things we shared

you forgot i was there...yeah, you forgot i was there



and one last time before i see the whole world go

open my eyes and let me know

the truth of this and everything

this may be a dream

this may be a dream

this may be a dream

this may be a dream

but it's all real to me
