Leaving Light
Carline Van Roos
Quiet steps through dim hallways
Time will stand still
For as long as here I stay
The absence of sound
Marches toward storms
But my voice is too weary
Came to you empty handed
Came to you silent
Came to you deprived of feelings
Came to you already dead
Night fell on me
Our windows became walls
The shining home lights
Slowly they faded
Died every possible ways
All leaving me blindfold
Misleading the mind's eyes
Leaving me no sight
As a worried wave
In a distant sea
Disappearing leisurely
Wish I could lead
The dead beats
Where they belong
