Streets

black, shiny.

it glares at me,

the night, what I once loved,

now lurks on every corner.

the shiny streets,

so pretty,

so welcoming,

so cold, uninviting,

you look down one alley,

look down another lane,

up the boulevard, across the way,

your nothing,

the reflection you once loved,

now fades,

your memory, memories,

hold strong.

but you long,

look for inside and out,

my, my the lie, is just a lie,

life exists, all in one,

inside and out,

the lie, you cannot kill us,

we have survived worse,

lost love,

lost worlds,

lost memories,

just being lost,

not worrying, where you where,

where you are,

where you were going,

come, go,

came from heaven,

went to hell,

landed somewhere close to both,

warmed from above and,

warmed from below,

life,

love,

all in time.
