I wander out
Across the halls
Of shattered thoughts
And broken dreams,
Where musty floors
And careless wisps
Of all I've lost
Caress my feet
With gentle puffs
Of clinging dust
That coat my shoes
And weigh me down.
But, oh, the chains
I bear from you
That drag behind
With clouds of dust
And dismal clangs
On hallowed ground,
Where peace is lost
And love has failed
But still persists
In shuffling pain
To struggle forth
Down memory lane.
