The Attic-BJH

The Attic

propped against a wall
Settled dust turned aging hair to grey
eyes heavy,so heavy you can’t move
mmm
Moisten by the chill
harden by the sun
Arms that used to hold you
empty as the air
Right
the night that last forever
The night

hanging by the lake,
Telling all your secrets
opened up your heart
But that was then
and it’s not yesterday
What the hell to do?
If tomorrow brings the sun
it always fades away
But night yeah night last
forever

Light never flickers
On
nothing to show the
way
Legs legs legs, too weak and
wasted
Moisten by the chill
harden by the heart
Shoes that used to sparkle
dull as the curtain
that filters out the sun

the night that last forever
The night
