A Garden Where Nothing Grows

Gray stones
Hung with Ivy
shimmer in
the pale moonlight
fading words
and forgotten faces
nestled against
the heart of the earth
In this garden
where nothing grows
the soil's turned to mud
and all that's left
is dust and ash
and the memory of your passing
Ruins of life
darkly buried
Amidst the fog
of distant memories
In dreams of death
I see you standing there
with arms outstretched
but I can never reach you
Cold and alone
I've climbed
the heights of despair
to find you
but all I found
was the ghost of myself
Hide all my pain
Deep within restless hours
and still you remain
Resting amongst the flowers
Hide all your pain
Deep within restless hours
and still you remain
buried amongst the flowers
