RUSTWORN

A lightless room is my guide for today

I am blind - I am numb, and look for your hand

This place has never been this silent before

 This house has never been

Never been this cold before

I thought that nights could not last so long

Where did all the morning birds go?

Just the sound of rain is all I have now

And a farewell I mumbled alone

In a sanctuary I used to call home

As I enter the coldest of dawns

Rustworn shutters

Give the shelter of darkness

It’s all quiet now

And colder still
