Silvery ghosts hang still in the air,
Standing in silence, empty stares,
Forgotten in life and now in death,
So cold, without pulse or breath,
Still statues left alone to weep,
Through restless, transient sleep,
No love, no hunger, no thirst nor lust,
Everything gone, a life left to dust,
Static souls without further purpose,
But to stand still in this ethereal circus.

Slow burn. Worlds turn. And yet they stay. In their place today. Times change. And rearrange. Embrace the new. When they look for you. The old will seem. Like a fading dream. They hide, they guide.

The Night Outside
As I lie here, propped against the wall, My eyes gaze out across the sky, I drink in every drop of darkness, Drain the apple of my nigh.

Evanescence
The pale skin is tightened, Pulled across the shattered bones, Wrapped around the once pure veins in vain, Of shielding from the stones.
