Assonant world;
monotonous colours, echoing,
banal notes,
repeated, concatenated.
Faded wood; crumbling,
succumbing to the will of time.
Ivory keys, dulled by incessant emptiness;
worn thin by ghostly fingers,
echoing pitches,
of her endless affliction.
Notes that'll reverberate,
till long after time itself
has succumbed, to the will of time.
