Forgotten Ghosts

As I watched corruption erode the souls of those I once considered pure
Tears of ice fell down the cheeks of one who could not see his face in the mirror
Pain etched across furrowed brows
Overwhelming misery as tangible as dry leaves in a closed fist
Symbolizing the time that slipped through my fingers like sand in lifes hourglass
I stood an empty vessel
Memories better left forgotten
Weighing me down as if 1,000 anchors were tied to weary ankles that walked a lonely road
To tired to walk another million miles
God wept and satan smiled
As everything I loved turned to ash
Heart broken
As if made of glass thrown from 30 stories high
Where clouds cried acid rain
And the wind moaned as if mourning the ghosts drifting in the wind slowly fading away into nothingness
Slowly like clouds trapped in the golden crimson skies of lost sunsets
What was lost can never be found again
And so here I lay
Alone
Devoid of happiness
Living a life defined by pain and torment
What is happiness? I whispered to the wind
Tormented to live out an eternity
Where the ghosts of forgotten memories will forever haunt me.
Trapped in an never ending cycle of torment
Forever alone forgotten like tombstones in an abandoned graveyard.
