Smiles, memories
Footprints on the shore
Playful silhouettes
They come around no more
Dancing curtains, vacated room
Dolls, games, books and all
Noiseless hallway
Pictures on the walls
Winter, spring, summer
Memories strain, barriers fall
Tragic headlines
Shooting in the hall
Raindrops on the window
Blood on the wall
I sit and I wonder
No note, no call
Truck through the bus stop
A dreadful brawl
A call from a stranger
Crashed, rolled, stopped
He saw it all
Three trapped under
And again I wonder
Was she there at all?
Not my hope or desire...
I just wonder
- Thomas
