Where Will They Go?

3/20/08

The room is empty
The walls are bare
You can look in as you pass by
But no one is there
The room where they lived
Where they loved and they laughed
Is forsaken and lonely
Sleeping at last.
The door has been locked
And the windows are closed
Left in the wake
Is a room, all alone.
In solitary it is left
With dreams unfulfilled
The air that was breathed
Is now painfully still.
But what of the memories
That have been left behind
They sleep there alone
And in their sleep, they cry
Where will they go?
Now they don’t have a home
Just an empty room
Just an empty soul
They sit and they sigh
They whisper alone
Those memories, forgotten
Where will they go?
