as shadows fall

 


loneliness gathers dust
as shadows
fall

debris of the heart scattered
carelessly about
as shadows
fall

the pen runs out of words
as shadows
fall

the tears of lost memories
arrive
as shadows
fall

the spider climbs the curtains
as shadows
fall

the moon and poets know
nothing of love
as shadows
fall

the sound of your voice
fainter now
as shadows
fall

the hum of the refrigerator
sings mockery
as shadows
fall

the walls and hallways
are printed with lies
as shadows
fall

apathy is greeted with
indifference
as shadows
fall

there is nothing left to
do now but sleep
as shadows
fall
