The tomb reaches out with its touch,
hand of the corpse on the shoulder. The past holds time within its clutch, grasping it, as we get older. Gripping fingers leave an imprint, trying to forget but didn’t. Arise o’ grave, of time we’re slave, haunted by spirits of the past. Roll the stone away from the cave, remove the silence that can’t last. Ancient times buried in gloom’s mind looking for the place hard to find. The place of peace and restful sleep may exist only behind stone. The place we sleep where we don’t weep and the flesh decays leaving bone. Fragments of death’s cold living touch confusing as such, held in clutch. Goodwill does not extend its hand, only the ghosts of memories. The hurts come first and there they stand, blown in with the stench on the breeze. Reek filling the nostrils with pain over the slain parts of the brain. Ghosts walking the halls in the head, apparitions carrying time between the dying and the dead, oozing the slime of heinous crime performed with wheezing through the lack giving us the chance to look back. Tormented by the pain of loss and buried in a deep cold crypt where life has lost all of its gloss from not understanding the script. The darkness of mind intertwined with the past that’s best left behind.
