Where Time Once Stood Still

like one of those old movies
playing round and round
my mind only shows me
what i want to see
from lost love to fear
everyone’s here
in laughter and tears
in a garden of red
where innocence was shared
that last lingering kiss
is all that i’ll miss
this army of voices
couldn’t be more real
a lost lonely figure
where time once stood still
so much sadness and silence in memories
the seething dark shadow
will catch up in the end
just playing host
to the memories of a ghost
a colourful playground
swings blowing in the breeze
the sound of our laughter
echoes through the streets
a slowing heartbeat
quieter with each breath
and with every unmissed death
in a garden of red
where innocence was shared
that last lingering kiss
is all that i’ll miss
this army of voices
couldn’t be more real
a lost lonely figure
where time once stood still
where time once stood still
