Echos

I wander through the hallow hallways of these memories
Haunted by what once was
Peering out through shattered glass 
at my broken dreams
Beyond the gate that guards my heart
Darkness consumes, engulfing everything within it's touch
Faint murmurs of whispered promises linger in my brain
Driving me near to insanity's grip
In the quiet of this empty house
I can hear the tick tock of a near by clock
My lonely life slowly tick tocking by
All that's left is the echo of good-bye
