Empty Echoes

City lights just ghosts in neon

Stand alone cold wind howling gone

Silent air words left unsaid

Shadows creeping filled with dread

Concrete jungle towering high

No one looks no one hears no cry

Empty faces in a faceless crowd

Heart beats loud but silence shroud

Lonely nights empty echoes scream

Life drifts by like a fleeting dream

Lost souls wander in the dark

Searching for just one single spark

Rain falls down cleanses none

Bitter taste life’s undone

Stumble through each endless night

Hope fades with morning light

Eyes closed walking down dark streets

Every step alone heartbeat defeats

Cold embrace of empty space

Lonely figures in this place

Lonely nights empty echoes scream

Life drifts by like a fleeting dream

Lost souls wander in the dark

Searching for just one single spark
