Literature Text

I still hear the echoes
In these vacant rooms
Through the hallways
Of memories, long forgotten

The sounds of a happy child
A soft cloud hovering
Over ruins of a different life

Lullabies breaking the silence
Quietly, distant and empty
The roots hold closely
To their new found home
Decorations on a memorial

The laughter that once rang
Through this place
Only a ghostly echo remains
Past life, different times
Crumbled

Sadness holds heavy,
Sweet tears, streaming
Calm and cold,
Her voice still hanging
In the frigid air
This is just about when I think back to when I was a kid and how different everything is now. Like my mom used to read me books every night before I went to bed, she would sing lullabies to be. My dad would sing me this one lullaby called sixteen tons, and he would also tell me pirate stories, completely and totally made up the stories and the pirates, and I loved them even though my mom didn't want him telling me those stories cause she didn't think it was right, they were too violent. So I wrote this because it seems like all of that is from a different life and world. Some long forgotten history/past that is just a ghost that haunts this present.
