The fast falling rain slams hard against the old wooden windows The wind whistles through the empty fire place And lightning the only light that shines in the darkened room. Promises uttered last as long as the whisperers icy breath hangs in the air A faint layer of dust covers an old fashioned telephone that keeps ringing, but remains unanswered And the smell of damp wood and musty perfume lingers and mixes with the ghosts and memories of the past.

memories...
An evening sky embraced with hints of red A lonely path through frosted hopes and dreams The silenced waterfalls now standing still Emotions trapped beneath icy waters Time brings forward forgotten memories Frosted petals painful to the bare skin Leaves floating to the ground covered in blood A tortured soul lingers in the forest Unseen eyes staring from hidden corners Whispers floating upon the gentle breeze Menacing tales flitter through the mind Haunting the darkness, fading with the light. Regret follows the light in the distance Never far behind slowly catching up.

Regret
The warm summer sun lightens up the dusty loft hidden memories The warm summer sun casts shadows across the room secrets well hidden The warm summer sun dances over photographs a forgotten past

Summer Sun
Talking to me is wasted breath; I hear not the words of mortals. My eyes see not the world you see; they see a land of broken dreams. I feel a strong cold wind, though no-one else does. With the wind comes a voice telling of how things should be.

Broken Dreams
A darkened room An abandoned chair. A worn out clock A blackened chimney. A dusty desk. A tattered diary, all alone. With pages old and crinkled. The words faded. Still telling their tale. A story long forgotten. With the passing of time.

Forgotten
Slowly comes the crashing doom As the gentle petals darkly fell Slowly comes the crashing doom As the sun sets in frosty silence Slowly comes the crashing doom As the whistling wind blows through the deserted city Slowly comes the crashing doom All dreams are broken. Hope is lost.

Slowly...
You blew me off like an autumn breeze Left me alone with dead leaves for my heart Still as a statue, silent as a grave I watched and i waited, hoping summer would return Winter came and buried me under 10 feet of snow Shivering and alone, with no hope of warmth I cried and i cried as the leaves rotted away Abandoned and drained of all hope Slowly i froze, losing myself to despair Slowly spring came, the frost starts to thaw New life begins, but no hope is left for me anymore Lost to the world, summer returns I melt to the ground, unable to survive No longer able to fit in, too many changes made in my absence
