The restaurant is empty,
Abandoned for years,
Alone within the silence,
I still hear laughter and cheers.
Faces of friends,
I will not see again,
Walking through the shadows,
Where my heart descends.
My old school campus,
Remains vivid in my dreams,
Though I visit the location,
Nothing is as it seems.
I feel though I am separated,
Buy a thick pain of glass,
Never able to return,
To those times in the past.
The party was lively,
The party was good,
I got a few laughs,
I knew that I would.
Yet those that I knew,
Have lives of their own,
How can I disturb them,
When I should be alone.
Heaven is fulfillment,
With smiles upon the streets,
With the warmth of God’s love,
In every face you meet.
I would be at peace alone,
Upon a rock by the shore,
That his children may be in peace,
Within his joy forever more.
