Standing alone, just an empty shell
Stories of old, if only I could tell
Love once walked these hallways, now
hollow
Full of laughter, of all that did
follow.
Empty it stands, waiting 'til time says
enough
Though work at the time, made it so
rough
Stands like a rock, just overlooking
time
Of the ghosts of the past, who shared my
wine.
Singing still echoes through the bare
halls
Laughter of children, on deaf ears now
fall
Emptied by lies, the moat, open and dry
Not an insect is heard, in the night
sky.
No need for walls, for naught left to
hide
The future has nothing, left to provide
Live on the memories, of those festive
days
When traffic was passing, through those
open gates.
A heart alone, is not as you think
Memories it holds, not missing a blink
As a castle of yore, people's essence
remain
Love's of the past, still sing their
refrain.
The heart left alone, can so lonely be
Only the past, is all you may see
No future ahead, another mountain to
scale
Love's of the past, will not let me
fail.
