Where once they stood (both versions)

Where once they stood


A silence stands
Where once they stood
A still that never shatters

A chill forever lingers
A cloud forever hovers
Above where once they stood

The rain will never fall again
The sun will never shine
Where the shadows of them stand

Colors have all drained away
Everything is black and white and I am
The only one left where they once stood

Pictures of their faces
Memories of smiles fade into nothing more
Where once they stood

Where once they stood #2


A silence stands
Where once they stood
A still that never shatters

Gray dust falling
Right into place
Because nothing matters

What happened here
Remains forgotten
The truth forever untold

But here was I
Where once they stood
With colors bright and bold

Friendships, laughter filled with glee
Fragments of the past
Forgotten ashes left in space

Although I live
Where once they stood
It is an empty place
