Around me,
I look at empty faces.
Void of compassion, of understanding,
of forgiveness.
All these years,
I have questioned what I always knew.
Refused to believe what had been the truth.
And in my blindness,
I pay the price...
Lost all that gave life
meaning and sense.
I am now on my own.
Wakened of what I should have seen before.
Now that it's too late.
Now that they have closed their doors.by Maieh
