Everything Falls Apart..........

 

The clocks don’t tick

The time doesn’t flow

The road is now broken

There’s nowhere to go

The game is now over

The day at an end

These tears are ripped open

We now cannot mend

Grey and fading

Wrinkled and old

Dusty and musty

Covered with mould

Glitter now is gone

There is no more shine

The lights have burnt out

There is no more time

The machine grinds down

From bottom to top

The gears now grow silent

They whine to a stop

The rust now does settle

Decay and now death

There is no life here now

Not even a breath

The streets now grow silent

The lights all wink out

No-one will answer

No matter how much I shout

The dust and the dirt

Settle and fall

Cover and blanket

Over it all

Rust and reminders

Are al that remain

No echoes of laughter

No weeping or pain

Only ghosts and the past

Of what may have once been

Of things that will not be

And are not the same

Memories are fading

Times creeps on fast

The things that once were

Shall no longer last

Silent and still

Dark and deep

Everything now falls

Under a veil of sleep

Not to be woken

Not to revive

Not to live longer

Not to survive

This is now the ending

There will be no start

All is now broken

Everything falls apart
