Your footsteps had long been faded
petals of time had ages, yet your shadow still remains
putting past in my rear view mirror
clinging inside me like a sooty cobwebs
your seductive intrusions prickles my skin
crawling inside my veins, invading my thoughts
I had gotten drunk of pain and tears
draining away the colors of my life
I became a wash out figure against dim silence
painting sorrow to match cloudy sky
your dangling lies trembles my soul
wrapped in unscented memories
planting seeds of regrets within every sigh
My empty pages now staring back at me
lost in the cold feelings of empty space
rhythm of life was broken
spell of delusion defiling my soul
Until when I will be free of your shadow?
until when will I tread along a forlorn trail?
Set me free from peering into a cloudy past
your story belongs to another life time now
you are but a fading memory and a distant promise
to my aching heart
growing in the twisted wreckage of my faraway dreams
