So far
Standing on a pedestal
A Monument
A Statue rock hard
Once alive
Now, turned to stone
Too proud to look down
Its eyes closed
Don’t come near
Do not try to touch
You will never reach
its marble heart
Don’t whisper in its ear
your truth
It won’t hear you
It won’t shed a tear
It won't understand
Best to just leave it alone
A beautiful memory
imprinted on your soul
Let it stand there,
far away, on its own
A Statue
Once alive
turned to stone

So far
Standing on a pedestal
A Monument
A Statue rock hard
Once alive
Now, turned to stone
Too proud to look down
Its eyes closed
Don’t come near
Do not try to touch
You will never reach
its marble heart
Don’t whisper in its ear
your truth
It won’t hear you
It won’t shed a tear
It won't understand
Best to just leave it alone
A beautiful memory
imprinted on your soul
Let it stand there,
far away, on its own
A Statue
Once alive
turned to stone
