Behind the veil
The sun shines through
Planes fly overhead
A new day
Girls and women walking to church decked up in their new church clothes
Laughter and smiles
Hangovers
Laughing and chatting
I sit in my dark room
Alone
With a faint echo of the computer nearby
Music plays from far away
Ignoring the silent ghost
Your eyes far away
I am only a stranger now
Hearing only anecdotes
I want to cry because
You cut me out of your life
Which now appears to glisten
More brightly as it fades
But now the tears have left
My eyes are dry
My heart is cold
The walls are bare and silent
The China sits delicately in place and the glass mirror sulks from the walls
In a picture nearby is a little girl praying
She looks to the golden light coming from the sky and her eyes are filled with hope
The innocence of being a child we once had before
Now gone as we drown ourselves in alcohol, sink into the couch and fill our bellies with food
The sunlight shines through the window and the sound outside is a loud roar
Everything moving
Nothing stays constant as animals dream themselves into their final slumber
Only the faint humming of the lawn mower outside
The iridescent light filtering through the blinds
A certain ambiance
Reminding us something once happened here
Damn
To think I knew you once
That our hearts beat in time
Now I am only a whisper
And you are the future
