Broken Dreams

I walk these empty halls alone
They echo the sounds of sorrow
Reminders are all that remain
In these footsteps laden with pain

This house I used to call home
Whispers to me the misery
Of memories dead and gone
The consequence of all I’d done

This hollow space sings 
Of broken dreams,
Unspoken words and
Misplaced expectations

There is no longer hope here
No Joy on the horizon
Too long I’d held a deaf ear
Towards the one I still love

No comfort, no solace
No laughter in this palace
There is no revelry
On this ship lost at sea

Yet, I welcome the frigid air
As it reminds me of why I’m here
Lessons learned, I have grown 
Now I embrace the unknown
