Unopened & Forgotten...

I escaped my agony, ran from grace,
I hid so much in my empty face.
I've drifted away to a safer place,
With thoughts & emotions to never replace.

I died that night, that brilliant December,
I floated away with the last of the embers.
I left a legacy that no one remembers,
My house of lonely allowed just one member.

I'm still there, in the place I lay,
I'm still forgotten in every way.
I'll never forget my sad reason to pay,
No one recalls my dying day.

I loomed by the reaper & destruction still nears,
I'm approached by them soon in faraway years.
I left the world & escaped all my fears,
Yet no one would watch as I'd cry my black tears.
