Nightmare

The absence of,

The sadness of,

The memory gone,

Life goes on,

I’m stuck in the silence.

The heart aches,

The life breaks,

The music gone,

Why does life go on?

The quiet creeps in.

People pass by,

I wonder why,

I can’t shed the old skin,

I’m trapped deep within,

I feel old in this new world.

Scars remain,

I feel lame.

World spins round,

My feet still hit the ground,

Will I wake from this nightmare?
