With a creak that sounds so loud
and a chill the deeper goes
quick light touch clings to the face
down into darkness we do go
above us does the warmth lie
and the lights that shine so bright
once there we did belong
yet now we’re cast away
chairs the tilt to one side
books that gather dust so deep
blankets that no one does use
papers faded with many years
every corner with cobwebs filled
strings that dangle from light bulbs old
memories in boxes that no one recalls
all here cast aside for another day
knowing not just what was done
no reasonable words sent us away
welcome to now we are not
send into darkness hidden away
in the cold chill of night
windows above lit with dim light
briefly flashes as cars race away
tears do fall within the night
