The Party

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.
