Forever Home

For as long as I can remember
I've walked the darkened streets
I've screamed in pain at the people passing by
yet no one seems to hear me.
At the beginning of each day
I know the sun should come up,
however all I see is the silvery moon.
Days, weeks and months all blend in to one.
Time just continuously passing.
When the clock tower strikes twelve
I'm transported back..
Each time I leave those iron gates,
I try and get further
from the other wandering souls.
Tonight however, I hear you.
I feel the tears dropping down your cheeks,
I try to talk to you, but you can't seem to hear.
There's fresh flowers in your hand
Red roses.. my favourite..
I try and yell;
"I'm here! Look at me.."
I try and touch your face, grab your arm.
You get up, place the flowers on my grave
and walk away..
I realise I am forever stuck
Forever a lost wandering ghoul
Unable to pass on to heaven or hell
This graveyard is now my forever home..
