Ruins: A remembrance of times past

Walking down the road on which I once lived,
Knowing that You are no longer there,
Knowing that the laughter that held it all together has disappeared into the darkness;
Knowing that the warmth has given way to the damp of the chilly wind;
Knowing that the river has now sullen with pain;
Knowing that the tree is groaning under the weight of the world;
Knowing that the train that passed through no longer whistles a happy tune;
Knowing that no bird visits for it's morning bath here;
Knowing that no letters come, neither the postman;
Knowing that the bark of the dog no longer breaks the peace of night;
Knowing that no leaves rustle to add music to the day;
Knowing that no flower smiles, no one is there...

I walk down the road that seems so old, but for me is so new
Knowing that You would not fight me for me, as I fight you for you!
