Remains of the day

Shadows on my way,
step aside and let me sway
I'm entangling further away
from or into disarray

I wouldn't know
and who is to say
The light in my mind
is too bright for the feelings
that flourish deep within

The sight to my eyes
is cascading to the dream
I keep

I'm crying but my present
it doesn't let me keep
my tears, my fears,
your thoughts
or even the pain

The remains of the day
they are built up this way,
they're made of nothingness
yet the absolutism
that I could only obey

I would walk on
miles and miles
and yet never feel this way
as the few steps
that I took in those shoes
that set on me
as night turned to day

I don't ask you
as I no longer need you to say
what I feel is enough
for both of us
as memories pile up
what fate continues to bring way

I don't know if serendipities end
I don't see life turning normal anyway
The numbness has ceased
and melancholy began

And I'm planning to let it stay ...
