And so the roses

fade to dust,

Tainted memories

fade to rust,

Blow across

the dusty floor,

Becoming ghosted echoes 

once more,

Open doors

curtains billow,

Dried up tears

on empty pillow,

Used to be laughter

in this room,

Now nothing but 

a sorrowful gloom,

Close the door

and lock it tight,

Sweep these memories

out of sight,

Time for you to move 

along,

Dance with me

to a different song….

.x.
