Somewhere In The World...

Somewhere in this world, there's a place

There's a place I will never go again

It's vanished & gone to its heaven

It died after being haunted by laughs & pain

There's a song I will never listen

There's a dream I wish I never have again

There's a phoenix that will never rise

From the ashes of hope, after a brutal demise

There's a chance I never might dance in the rain

Like the tears that came but never could fall

There's a hope that I never cry on my windowpane

Somewhere in the strings in time, there's this thread

With that moment of memory, I never will recall

The thread is broken, the knot has failed to unite

For it was too weak to keep me tied

There's a book on the shelf I will never read

There's a story I wish could end

Among the pages, there rests a poem

That poem I will never sing or repeat

There's a stack of pictures I will never open

For there are some I pray I never again meet

How can I forget the dress I shall never wear again?

Somewhere in the racks, there's a book another

With yellowed pages & once green leaves

And with flowers of the spring long dead

That diary I will never bring out again

Her pages are too fragile to soak my tears

That pen is too short of ink to write & weep
