A Garden Where Nothing Grows - UN

Gray stones

Hung with ivy

shimmer in

the pale moonlight

fading words

and forgotten faces

nestled against

the heart of the earth

In this garden

where nothing grows

the soil’s turned to mud

and all that’s left

is dust and ash

and the memory of your passing

Ruins of life

darkly buried

Amidst the fog

of distant memories

In dreams of death

I see you standing there

with arms outstretched

but I can never reach you

Cold and alone

I’ve climbed

the heights of despair

to find you

but all I found

was the ghost of myself

Hide all my pain

Deep within restless hours

and still you remain

Resting amongst the flowers

Hide all your pain

Deep within restless hours

and still you remain

buried amongst the flowers
