Blank spaces & empty rooms
_
filled with nothing but salty air
it hangs heavy with palpable despair
_
Darkened halls & lonely tombs
_
where no moonlight shines on the stones
that cover forgotten bones
_
Old souls & new spirits
_
whispering like the wind through the trees
laughing like the clinking of old keys
_
Faithless chapels & flowerless graves
_
leaving the dead to the earth
and our sorrows buried in exchange for mirth
