The End

Sitting in the empty hall

My back pressed up against the wall

Memories surround me everywhere

Nostalgia flows thickly through the air

Life flows by so fast 

Each season passes quickly than the last

Children grow and move away

Silence is the only thing that stays

The rooms, once filled with happiness and gratitude

Now echo with empty solitude

I close my eyes, and like a movie screen, images replay

I reach for them longingly, begging them to stay

Like tiny grains of sand,

They slip through my hands

Falling through the cracks of time

The memories fade, they lose their shine

Life moves on, indifferent, unkind

We all slow down, we get left behind

Time moves on

Time is gone

In the end, darkness comes for all

In the end, we cannot stall

Alone, I sit in the hall

Watching as my world it falls

The end has come

My story is done
