Under the sun we used to play
Under the stars, awestruck, we lay
The smell of blossoms bathed the air
Now stench fills my lungs that I can’t bear

I knock softly at the peeling door
Although, knowingly, there’s not someone who’d answer
There’s not someone for whom I’m there
So I turn the sad cold knob with a shudder

The hall is all dark and unhappy
If possible, colder than it already is outside
With a glance memories pour, emotions unbind
Knees weak I take a step further..

Up the steps one, two, three
The old battered stairs sing creaks
My legs feel heavier, every step I take
I somehow feel my heart will break

Entering this old room I knew so well
I remember how sunlight used to dance
But now all that’s left is thick dust
Then I hear mama singing her song again

I look around to see nothing
It was nothing but nothing at all
They’ve all gone into none being
Away from me, away from everything

I went home to find tears
Instead of love that I lost long since
The thought dawned, how horrible it was
I went home but I’m not
