No trace


I am nothing
I am empty space
When my ashes are burnt
There will be no trace

Every word that i spoke
Adrift on the wind
Every memory evoked
consigned to the bin

Every decision of pain
What value, what worth
Every tear that i shed
Soaked up by the earth

Just a book on the shelf
Left open unread
It's time to retire
to my dark crimson bed

I'm nothing
I'm empty
Just an empty space.

But then i recall
the smile that she gave
I think it can wait
the stone on my grave ;-)
