Whispers ©©

I wish I could go back in time

Not to fix my mistakes

Not to change what has become or will be

Just to see familiar faces

The world crumbles all around

The landscape is eaten up by time and progress 

Pyramids come and go

As do the faces that I once knew

I run my fingers through my hair

Struggling to remember them by name

Their faces slowly fading away

Becoming ghosts in my mind

Going back is not the cure

The lies would be the same

The pain a hundred fold

But I would see everyone one more time

Alone in this empty house that was once a home

The sorrow consuming parts of my soul

The whispers call from the darkest of night

But there’s no going back anymore
