Silence of My Mind

There's something staring back at me
Out on the misty waters
Forsaken roads are withered parts
Of a life not taken...and not owned.

Breathe the air of purest dusk,
See the shadows in the sky.
See the stars falling, ever so slowly
With ethereal grace, angels' flight.

Pain and substance leave the mind
Retreating from shadows closing in
You cannot see them the way I do...
Because it is not you they want.

Flying through the decadent wind,
Tears falling far below,
I cannot see the smile any more
Upon the familiar faces of their souls.
